Council Member Brooks-Powers inquires about the Department of Transportation's (DOT) involvement in ferry expansion studies. Rick Rodriguez from DOT responds to the questions.

  • DOT does not have any active studies that are out of step with EDC's ferry team's work.
  • DOT is not conducting any separate studies from the work being done by EDC or NYC Ferries.
  • Regarding the legislation sponsored by Brooks-Powers calling for a study of ferry expansion in the Rockaways, DOT recommends aligning it with the current process led by EDC's ferry team.

Thank you for that.
1:24:40
And then the DOT, I just wanted to to the backs of the studies.
1:24:44
I just wanted to ask, does DOT have any active studies right now that we should be aware of in terms of exploring very expansions globally speaking?
Rick Rodriguez
1:24:56
There are no studies that are reflecting anything out of step with what the various team at EDC has said.

1:25:03
And can you just bring them right closer?
Rick Rodriguez
1:25:06
Yeah.
1:25:06
There are no studies that DOT is taking on separate from the work that is being done at Illinois c or New York City fairies.

Rick Rodriguez
1:25:26
Of course, we would recommend it to reflect the the current nature of how expansion is being done, that it's being led through the various team at EDC.
1:25:36
But that's something we feel we would address in, you know, the back and forth after a hearing.
