New York Citywide Ferry
New York City's inaugural citywide ferry system attracted 1 million riders in fewer than three months of operation when it began in 2017.
AKRF led environmental review pursuant to CEQR for the assessment of five new routes and fifteen new or upgraded ferry landings.
Our air quality analysis focused on emissions from the proposed ferry service itself, including the effect of ferry engines on pollutant concentrations near the affected existing terminals and landings and the proposed landings, and on the total emissions burden added in the New York City area. The pollutant analysis addressed carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and respirable particulate matter.
AKRF also led CEQR environmental review for expansion of the service and has contributed to various ferry landing and homeport pier projects.
