Meeting Our Climate Goals Fixing Our Commutes Making Transportation Fair Stopping Traffic Deaths FISCAL YEAR 2022 Program Service Accomplishments:Meeting Our Climate Goals:In FISCAL YEAR 2022 we continued our push for transit electrification in New York and New Jersey. In New York we are calling on the state to commit to statewide electrification of transit and school buses. Legislatively the New York State Senate passed a bill to require every public transit authority to purchases only new zero-emission buses by Jan 1, 2029. We continue to advocate the electrification of NJTransit bus and rail operations via EllectrifyNJ and to hold NJTransit to its timeline of electrification. Elsewhere, we continue to push for incentivizing reducing vehicle miles traveled by promoting transportation via trail networks and walkable communities via our Circuit Trails work to develop connections and complete streets throughout South Jersey. Fixing Our Commutes:Tri-State works to improve the commute and overall travel experiences for any users of public transit throughout the region. This includes pursuing policies to reduce delays and traffic while improving public transportation and transit infrastructure for all. Our campaigns in fiscal year 2022 focused on improving bus service in New York City, New Jersey, and Westchester County. We continue to advocate for transparency in the MTAs capital planning process, and ensure transit agencies continue to get federal resources to keep us moving as we climb out of the impact the pandemic had on decreased ridership. Through the Bus Turnaround Campaign in New York City we are pushing for the MTA to resume the bus network redesign process and implement all-door boarding, and expand the citys network of bus ways and bus lanes. For regional infrastructure, we continued to push for maximizing the benefits of the Hudson Tunnels and Penn Station Redevelopment changes for NJ commuters as well as LIRR riders and the coming Penn Expansion riders on Metro-North, including pushing for Amtrak to study throughrunning at Penn Station to connect Long Island directly to Newark.In New Jersey and Westchester County we have organized bus rider meetings to empower riders to advocate for a better bus service. We have released two reports related to improving transit in our area. One focused on the Bee-Line operations in Westchester County and the other highlights improvements to our regional rail system in New York and New Jersey. We continue to encourage the use of federal IIJA funds for climate-friendly options such as transit, active transport, safe streets, instead of highway expansions, and other car-centric practices which would only hurt our environment with more carbon emissions and pollution.Making Transportation Fair:As part of our equity advocacy, we have established a Bus Rider Bill of Rights for NJTransit Riders that guarantee safe, reliable, and transparent transportation with updated schedules, maps, and proper training for operators and fair and equitable fares.In New York City, Tri-State has worked to reimagine how we distribute our street and curbside resources beyond just single occupancy vehicle storage. With our partners in the Alfrescos campaign, we have completed a series of stakeholder meetings with NYC DOT and DCP, nonprofits, and open streets and outdoor dining stakeholders.These meetings establish a vision for a more walkable and safer city that uses streets actively for the public instead of our current norm of car storage.Tri-State continues to hold monthly riders meetings to empower riders to express their needs and concerns for an equitable and fair transportation system based on their needs.Stopping Pedestrian Deaths:In New Jersey we celebrated the passage of the Safe Passing Law which went into effect on March 1, 2022. The law provides clear rules of the road for all motorists when interacting with vulnerable road users (people on foot, bicycle, scooter, in a wheelchair, or otherwise not in a car, bus, or truck). This new law aims to prevent the near misses or fatalities that can occur when motorists pass cyclists, pedestrians, or other vulnerable road users. The passage of this law underscores Tri-States committee to a cultural shift toward safer travel habits by reinforcing the right to the road for people on foot, wheelchair, bicycle, or scooter. The law also underscores the responsibility for those driving fast, heavy vehicles to drive cautiously.Last year, Tri-State created and lead the Vision Zero Working Group which laid the groundwork for the formation of the Vision Zero New Jersey Alliance, a coalition of diverse partners, such as families impacted by traffic crashes, community members, advocates, policymakers, transportation professionals, public health professionals, and others. We continue to push for the creation of New Jerseys Vision Zero Task Force with the goal of getting New Jersey to zero crash fatalities. 786618 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 8 0 true 12 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true true false NJ NY X THE ORGANIZATION 2122687474 231 W 29TH STREET SUITE 904 NEW YORK NY 10001 RENAE REYNOLDS Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 72896 0 9569 RICHARD KASSEL BOARD MEMBER 0.35 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Alexander Board Member 0.35 0.00 X 0 0 0 AXEL CARRION BOARD MEMBER 0.35 0.00 X 0 0 0 John P Casellini Board Chairman 0.67 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JUSTIN BALIK BOARD MEMBER 0.35 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph A Fiordaliso Board Member 0.35 0.00 X 0 0 0 Janine Bauer Treasurer 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ya-Ting Liu Board Member 0.35 0.00 X 0 0 0 Neysa Pranger Board Member 0.35 0.00 X 0 0 0 72896 9569 0 false false false 0 44754 1117047 1161801 FEES FOR SERVICE 519100 50000 50000 50000 0 0 0 0 0 7545 44754 20160 -12615 -12615 0 0 0 1199186 50000 -12615 70000 70000 0 0 0 133901 116494 8034 9373 0 514473 436427 68199 9847 0 74843 62744 1133 10966 60344 51051 1569 7724 0 0 23405 23405 0 0 0 70463 39825 26147 4491 1514 1514 6475 582 4955 938 0 0 58598 5023 53575 4074 684 3390 0 0 0 0 2396 2396 1231 1231 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTION 10501 491 10010 MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES 4311 50 4261 STAFF DEVELOPMENT 3749 3172 97 480 TELEPHONE AND INTERNET 3618 75 3543 412 286 126 1044308 786618 213745 43945 354371 373629 0 225000 219500 26516 0 0 0 0 11385 0 82095 79638 4853 2457 0 0 0 0 14063 14063 604172 641665 412 4380 124199 2846 124611 7226 X 281849 298647 197712 335792 479561 634439 604172 641665 154878 X false true X false false X 282734 979372 806168 786888 1161801 4016963 0 0 282734 979372 806168 786888 1161801 4016963 1383406 2633557 928 213 47 1188 0 717 -1457 -8267 1844 -12615 -19778 3998373 57000 0.65870 0.92040 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 148 1720 1868 784750 786618 142993 35748 false 105022 123610 142485 142993 514110 771165 18978 3879 2240 1868 26965 26256 30903 35621 35748 128528 192792 89 148 237 46215 46215 35880 33423 2457 2457 DEFERRED RENT PAYABLE 2846 2846 X 1219346 20160 20160 1199186 1199186 1064468 20160 20160 1044308 1044308 Part X : FIN48 Footnote Tri-State is exempt from income tax under the Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3) and a similar provision under the New York State law, although it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code.
