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%.

0:48:11

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.

0:48:18

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.

0:48:31

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

Amanda Farías

0:48:43

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

Andrew Kimball

0:48:47

Yes.

Amanda Farías

0:48:48

Generally?

0:48:48

Okay.

0:48:55

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.
