MTA 2025-2044 20-Year Needs Assessment Comparative Evaluation

The 2025-2044 20-Year Needs Assessment Comparative Evaluation is a framework which assesses the costs and benefits of potential expansions and enhancements. All potential projects are evaluated using a consistent set of models, tools, and criteria including ridership, time savings, network resilience and sustainability, capacity, equity, network leverage, geographic distribution, and cost. The most promising projects may be advanced for further study and possible inclusion in future capital plans.

All Statewide Energy Storage Projects

Energy storage is critical to New York’s clean energy future. As renewable power sources like wind and solar provide a larger portion of New York’s electricity, storage will allow clean energy to be available when and where it is most needed.  The 2019 Climate Act set a statewide goal of 3,000 MW of Energy Storage by 2030, further increased to 6,000 MW of Energy Storage by 2030 by Governor Kathy Hochul.  

This dataset tracks progress towards these statewide goals by compiling data on installed energy storage projects. Projects that received funding support from NYSERDA, as well as unincentivized projects, are included in this dataset

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) offers objective information and analysis, innovative programs, technical expertise, and support to help develop energy storage projects. Please see https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/All-Programs/Energy-Storage-Program.

Fuel-NY Emergency Generators and Transfer Switches

NYSERDA deployed Emergency Generators and Transfer Switches at Retail Gas Stations as part of the Fuel-NY initiative through its Gas Station Back-up Power Program and Permanent Generator Program using FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding. This dataset is a complete listing of all installations under the two programs, which ran from 6/1/2013 through 1/26/2019. This dataset contains business names, locations, and the type of installation for program participants.

These efforts improved the resiliency of the retail gasoline system in the downstate New York area by providing back up power options to gas stations. 

These stations have either the capability to easily accept backup power or have a backup generator permanently installed on site. The equipment allows the stations to mitigate the effects of power outages, increase the availability of fuel, and support first responders during and after emergencies and severe weather events.  Additional socioeconomic benefits are achieved by supporting residents and early recovery efforts with continued access to fuel as well as food, grocery, and necessary household items, increasing the resiliency capabilities of their communities.

New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program (NYTVIP) Projects Reported By NYSERDA: Beginning 2019

The New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program (NYTVIP), administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), reduces the cost for truck, transit, and school bus fleets to purchase zero-emission vehicle technologies. NYTVIP provides vouchers - or discounts - to fleets across New York State that purchase or lease medium- and heavy-duty, zero-emission battery electric (BEV) or hydrogen fuel cell electric (FCEV) vehicles. 
Voucher amounts are determined by calculating the difference in cost between the zero-emission vehicle and a comparable diesel vehicle. A percentage of the difference (or “incremental cost”) is then used to determine an exact voucher amount, which is capped at a maximum dollar amount. Voucher incentive amounts may vary based on factors such as: vehicle type, weight class, and whether the vehicle operates in a Disadvantaged Community. All voucher amounts are subject to funding availability and applicable per-project caps.
To date, NYTVIP funding has come from two sources: the Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust (VW Settlement) and from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program. The dataset includes application information from the New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program (NYTVIP) since 2019.

NYS Climate Impacts Assessment: Climate Change Projections

The preferred citation when using this dataset is: Stevens, A., & Lamie, C., Eds. (2024). New York State Climate Impacts Assessment: Understanding and preparing for our changing climate. The New York State Climate Impacts Assessment is an investigation into how climate change will affect New York State’s communities, ecosystems, and economy. The data and information presented will help New Yorkers plan and prepare for the impacts of climate change. The assessment also strives to show how addressing climate change provides opportunities to enhance equity and reduce the vulnerability of those most at risk.

As part of the assessment, Columbia University developed climate change projections for temperature and precipitation, extreme events, degree days, and sea level rise, downscaled to 12 regions of New York State. This dataset includes those projections of future climate conditions in New York State, for the 2030s through 2100.

For more information on these projections or to read the full NYS Climate Impacts Assessment, visit the assessment website at https://nysclimateimpacts.org/.
