REGIONAL TRANSIT 1990. THE REVISED AND UPDATED REGIONAL PLAN AND PROGRAM

The two transit planning goals for the Tri-State Region are: (1) to strengthen and maintain the economic viability of the Manhattan central business district and other dense centers; and (2) to provide a reasonable alternative to the automobile for travel outside the Manhattan central business district. These goals, in turn, lead to ten specific planning objectives, whose degree of attainment is measured by certain criteria. Target dates for attaining the objectives are specified; the current status is summarized; and a list of projects costing $16.4 billion to achieve the objectives is presented. Major elements of the plan are geographically indicated on maps of the region.
