New York City's Department of Transportation proposed a dedicated busway on 34th Street, aimed at improving bus speeds by 15% and replicating the successful 14th Street model. The busway would serve numerous transit lines, prioritizing buses and trucks while allowing local access for drop-offs and deliveries. The project reflects the city's commitment to enhancing public transport efficiency, reducing traffic, and improving safety. Following success on 14th Street, where bus speeds increased by up to 24% and traffic accidents dropped, the DOT is optimistic about similar improvements on 34th Street.
