Sam Schwartz Engineering

Sam Schwartz has been providing exclusive engineering services for MTA New York City Transit's (NYCT) 5,000+ bus operation. At the 126th Street Bus Depot, the firm developed traffic mitigations to allow uninterrupted operations and improve safety during an adjacent RFK Bridge ramp construction project. Sam Schwartz analyzed operations at the South Ferry Bus Terminal to determine optimal use of the facility, including signal phasing changes in the surrounding street network to reduce bus delays, schedule improvements to reduce the number of buses laying over in the terminal, and other treatments to improve the passenger experience. The firm's rail experience has included monitoring modified service patterns for New Jersey Transit, optimizing traffic signal timing for Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, and conducting the feasibility analysis for the proposed Brooklyn-Queens Connector streetcar line.
