A comprehensive guidebook for practical employee commute options (ECO) was compiled for employers in New York State to provide them the technical expertise to develop an ECO program.  This ECO guidebook is a result of literature search, employer survey, and the participation of advisory committee members consisting of people from the federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 and representatives of several organizations that have experience working with employers on commuter transportation in the New York metropolitan area.  This study identified guaranteed ride home programs, parki

In 1984, 74% of the incoming drivers entering the workforce of the New York City taxi industry were immigrants born outside of the U.S. with the greatest numbers, in ascending order, coming from Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Korea, the Soviet Union and Pakistan. In 1988 the survey of students entering the New York City Taxi Driver Institute (NYCTDI) was replicated. It revealed that the immigrant population had increased to 86% with significant numbers still coming from Haiti but with an even higher percentage entering from the countries of the Indian sub-continent.

The main objective of this project was to evaluate the impact of New York State’s divisible-load permit system for heavy trucks in terms of benefits and costs to society. Under this system, New York State has allowed a fleet of approximately 12,800 power units to operate above the federal limits on gross vehicle weights and axle loads. The system has eleven permit categories corresponding to number of axles, weight limits, and statewide or downstate geographic area of operation.

This project designed an expert system to advise bridge inspection teams on fatigue and corrosion of steel bridge superstructures. Steel bridge superstructures were selected since they are the most predominate existing bridge superstructure configuration. The expert system development would begin with a pre-inspection stage designed to collect data on the superstructure, determine the primary and secondary load paths and determine the critical details succeptible to fatigue and corrosion vulnerability.

<p>The main objective of this project was to evaluate the impact of the New York State divisible-load permit system for heavy trucks in terms of benefits and costs to society. The costs result primarily from increased pavement damage; the benefits accrue to the trucking industry (primary economic benefits) and also to New York State&#39;s economy (secondary economic benefits).

<p>This report presents a design for an electronic permit issuance system for overdimensional and/or overweight vehicles with nondivisible loads. The system has been designed in collaboration with, and for use by, the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), but the major elements of the design (if not the specific details) should be transferrable to other states or agencies.</p>
