Lower Manhattan-Jamaica/JFK
Transportation
Project
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation and the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, supported by the New York City Economic Development Corporation, are undertaking a Planning Study to prepare an Alternatives Analysis report and a Draft and Final Environmental Impact Statement for a modal alternative to provide improved commuter and airport access between Lower Manhattan, Downtown Brooklyn, the Jamaica LIRR Station and John F. Kennedy International Airport.
This planning effort will build on the findings of the multi-agency "Lower Manhattan Airport and Commuter Access Alternatives Analysis Study" (external link), which was carried out between September 2003 and April 2004, and will evaluate all reasonable rail and non-rail alternatives for construction and operational feasibility, ridership potential and cost-effectiveness sufficient to meet the planning study regulations of the Federal Transit Administration, and then prepare a Draft and Final Environmental Impact Statement, compliant with the regulations for the National Environmental Policy Act, for a Locally Preferred Alternative. The Federal Transit Administration will act as Lead Agency.
