The Myrtle-Wyckoff Intermodal Facility proposal is presented, its planning process is discussed, and recommendations for future partnerships between New York City Transit (NYCT) and the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) are given. The planning of this intermodal project was affected by three factors: the planning is a joint effort of two public organizations, it is being formulated for a transportation system that has few intermodal facilities, and it is being developed during austere capital budget cuts. The partnership developed because the intermodal facility will be partially financed with federal Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) funds. NYCDOT was awarded the CMAQ funds, and NYCT will own and operate the facility. Second, because NYCT was conceptualized in the 19th century by private companies, the transportation systems are not integrated because of the physical infrastructure and unparallel service plans. In the past decade, NYCT has taken a variety of initiatives to coordinate and integrate the services. Creation of intermodal facilities is one of the goals of the NYCT 1995-1999 Strategic Business Plan. The project is a good capital investment. However, organizational priorities and funding constraints prevented it from being included in the proposed capital program. Capital projects evolve in four phases: concept consideration, adoption of concept, implementation, and operation. The development of the project from the consideration phase to the adoption phase is presented. The conclusion will list recommendations for future planning partnerships between NYCT and NYCDOT.
