But considerable funding needed
13
• Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio supporting congestion pricing to help fund MTA, manage traffic
• MTA faces $40b funding gap for capital program, more for operations
• Port Authority NY-NJ $7b needed for bus terminal reconstruction
• Gateway program needs $24b for NE corridor rail tunnel & track upgrades

• 1-year cap on FHV registrations, except wheelchair-accessible vehicles, until August 2019
• New wage floor for FHV drivers
• Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) and NYC DOT studying longer-term solutions
20
Regulating FHV industry to boost public welfare
• Strategies for --
• Shared Mobility
• Electric Vehicles
• Connected & Automated Vehicles
• Focus on near-term actions at local, state, and federal level, and with private partners
• Identify potential business models, government responses, incentives, and disincentives
21
DOT Developing New Mobility Roadmap
22
• 750 stations, 12,000 bikes: will grow
to 40,000 bikes in next several years
• 65 million trips since 2013 launch
• 150,000+ annual members
• Busiest day: 80,000 trips
• 7+ trips per bike on busy days
• No public subsidy
• Single contract with detailed
performance requirements
• Will add pedal assist e-bikes
NEW MOBILITY ROADMAP: SHARED
NYC Bike Share: Citi Bike System
23
• Dockless pilot projects started 2018,
exploring expansion in 2019
NEW MOBILITY ROADMAP: SHARED
Expanding Bike Share City Wide
24
• Scooter companies hope to come
to NYC
• City and State legislation to
legalize them has been introduced
• Legal framework pending
• Safety questions remain
NEW MOBILITY ROADMAP: SHARED
Scooters
• Pilot testing up to 300 on-street spaces in
14 neighborhoods and up to 300 off-
street spaces in DOT parking facilities to
carshare
• Require participating companies to
expand to underserved neighborhoods

Challenge
• NYC ranks 38th out of 50 U.S. metros in public Electric
Vehicle (EV) charging
• Over 50% of car owners in NYC park on street at least
some of the time
Solution
• Partnership to implement 120 on-street L2 chargers
• Commitment to implement one DC fast charging hub
in each borough by 2019, with a strategy for 50
citywide
• Cooperation with MTA on electric bus deployment
NEW MOBILITY ROADMAP: ELECTRIC
Expanding EV Charging and EV Use
Connected Vehicle Pilot
Challenge:
• Connected vehicle (CV) technology has strong safety potential, but requires a high level of penetration in traffic system
• Manufacturers and federal government have not agreed on a single standardized system
Solution:
• USDOT-funded pilot of CV tech in midtown Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn
• 8,000 vehicles, 204 intersections
• Launching in 2019
27
NEW MOBILITY ROADMAP: CONNECTED & AUTOMATED
28
Connected
Electric
Shared
Accessible
• AVs should adapt to cities, not the other way around
• Focus on the transition: human drivers and AVs will likely need to co-exist for decades
• Advocate at state and federal level: cities should have a seat at the table in policy-making
• Data sharing: pursuing data sharing with companies that plan to test in NYC
• Labor impacts: begin a regional and national conversation on job loss
• New mobility services must supplement, not undermine,
transit, walking, and biking.
