Council Member Farías inquires about the NYC Ferry's on-time performance and potential improvements in service frequency. Andrew Kimball provides information on current performance and factors affecting it.
- On-time performance in fiscal year 2024 was 91%, down from 96% in fiscal year 2023
- Current fiscal year performance is in a similar range
- Weather conditions, particularly high winds and seas, are the primary factors affecting on-time performance
- No immediate plans to increase service frequency to 30-minute intervals
- Long-term aspirations include shorter intervals between ferries, but no concrete plans at present

The ferry system in fiscal twenty twenty three hit 96% on time performance.
0:48:07
In fiscal twenty twenty four it was at 91%.

How is the ferry system on time performance performing so far in fiscal year twenty five?
Andrew Kimball
0:48:16
I think it's in the same range.

Know, the the what you don't get is sort of mechanical failure, signal failure that you might get on an AG subway system, what you get is impacts from weather.

And so particularly in high wind, high sea days, that can slow down service and and impact those on time service times.

Are you you would would you say that that's relatively what's impacting the performance timing

Yes.

Okay.

Does EDC have plans for the ferry to come at any given point to thirty minute intervals beyond the forty five or fifty five that we have now?
Andrew Kimball
0:49:05
No plans that are imminent, but certainly, know, looking way down the road, would you would one like to see a ferry system that had even shorter intervals?
0:49:14
Absolutely.
