Research

Independent analysis of how the New York region plans, funds, and runs its railroads and transit, built from public records and public data.

  1. The federal capacity study, the case for running trains through the station, the expansion claims checked against the record, and a tracker that follows the study as it moves.

  2. An interactive map of 326 legislative districts in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, with two-page fact sheets that report margins of error and a downloadable CSV.

  3. A long-range transit network for New Jersey drawn as one system across rail, light rail, and bus.

  4. Reports, drawings, contracts, and correspondence on Penn Station and the Gateway Program, obtained from public agencies and organized for reuse.

  5. A century of newspaper coverage of the region’s attempts to plan and run transportation across state lines, transcribed and searchable.
