Wong outlines infrastructure investments and East 34th redesign
EDC is replacing engines, building a swing barge and Atlantic Basin home port, replacing ticketing machines, and starting East 34th Street terminal redesign.
But fares are only one part of keeping the system sustainable.
We also have to keep investing in the physical infrastructure, vessels, landings, and customer experience that riders depend on every day.
As NYC Ferry approaches its 10th year, we are investing in the repairs and upgrades needed to keep service safe, reliable, and ready for the future.
As a starting point, we are improving air quality emissions by starting a major engine replacement project across our largest vessels in the fleet.
Looking to our infrastructure, we are building a swing barge to support main
on our many landings, constructing a necessary warehousing and home port facility in Atlantic Basin, Breadhook, replacing ticketing machines to improve the customer experience, and preparing for the long-term overhaul of vessels.
We are also kicking off discussions around redesign and community needs at the East 34th Street Terminal.
As the second busiest passenger terminal in the system, the aging facility is increasingly constrained by major limitations.
