Roadway Planning/Intersection Improvements/Other Projects:

These studies are mostly geared to address existing and future transportation due to anticipated impacts of land use changes. The size of the study area could span from a local neighborhood to citywide. Their analysis covers vehicular and pedestrian circulation and safety, transit services and parking supply.
	Harlem/Morningside Heights Transportation Study - Draft Technical Memorandum No.1: Existing Conditions (2005) is a comprehensive analysis of existing conditions with respect to demography, land use and zoning, traffic and transportation, parking, pedestrian and bicycle movement, transit, and accidents and goods movement.
	The North Corona Transportation Study (2005) was initiated in response to community concerns about existing and potential traffic congestion and safety issues as a result of rezoning and potential land use developments in North Corona, Queens.
	Bay Terrace Transportation Study (2004) provides a comprehensive analysis of existing and potential vehicular circulation, parking demand, public transit utilization, and pedestrian circulation patterns in this northern Queens community.
	Charleston Transportation Study (2003) assesses potential land use development scenarios in order to provide a comprehensive analysis of existing and potential future vehicular, parking, public transit, and pedestrian circulation patterns primarily on Arthur Kill Road and the local street system.

ITS Projects :
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) use technology and information management to improve the efficiency and safety of transportation networks. The Transportation Division has been involved in several ITS projects that pertain to off-street parking and data integration. Projects have included the Off-Street Parking Website which disseminates geographical information about off-street parking in the city; the NYC-ParkingFinder, a web-based application for mobile phones that allows users to search for off-street parking with a cell phone (available toward the end of 2006); and a study involving a Parking Guidance System (PGS) in Downtown Flushing that would use a series of dynamic message signs to display information pertaining to the availability of parking spaces in selected facilities.
	Interactive maps show the location of more than 1,900 parking facilities licensed by the Department of Consumer Affairs in The Bronx, xBrooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.
	The Preliminary Recommendations for Downtown Flushing Parking Guidance System (2004) proposes a guidance system that will direct drivers looking for parking, to parking facilities with available spaces.
