Abstract:

This paper studies the ways in which urban areas cope when mobility becomes limited. As an illustration of limited mobility, the paper takes the case of the strike of two commuter rail lines in New York City and suburban New York and New Jersey. The two rail lines were striking concerning work rules, but all bus lines, subways, and PATH lines continued to operate. In this transportation emergency, transit demonstrated that given the time to consider a limited emergency, it can cope extremely well. In conclusion, plans must now be made that include comprehensive strategies for all modes of transportation, agreements between public sector agencies as well as between the public and private sectors, and funds must be designated to develop and implement plans.
