| 摘要： | This report is intended to help New Yorkers evaluate alternatives and direct their support toward proposals that make the most sense for the city. Key findings of this analysis are: (1) Traffic congestion is a quality of life, health and economic problem as well as an environmental problem. There are many reasons to address traffic issues; (2) City residents experience traffic and transportation as major problems not just in Manhattan but throughout the city. New Yorkers believe the City is not doing enough and want to see action to reduce congestion and improve alternative modes; (3) The primary source of traffic congestion in New York City is the private auto, more often than not driven by New York City residents. Policies to reduce traffic must address New Yorkers auto use for commuting and other purposes; (4) Manhattan and outerborough traffic problems are closely intertwined. Traffic congestion needs to be addressed on a citywide basis. Steps that reduce traffic congestion in Manhattan will have citywide benefits; and (5) In addressing traffic issues, policy-makers can take advantage of the fact that most trips in congested parts of the city are already by non-auto modes, and by the fact that drivers have alternatives to their car for the vast majority of auto trips. / Availability Note: Available on CD-ROM and in color paper copy only.
