WSP Air Quality, Noise, Vibration and Acoustic Services

Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ), Bus Replacement Project Supporting a bus terminal replacement project for the busiest bus terminal in North America, WSP has been conducting air

quality studies related to changes in traffic patterns and bus operations in future years, as well as detailed construction analyses for various project stages (temporary terminal, main terminal, etc). An air quality ventilation analysis was conducted for the Dyer deck over, which is a component of the project that will result in a park over the bus ramps. The analyses included use of EPA’s MOVES and AERMOD programs.

NYC Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), Central Business District Tolling Analysis In 2019, NYC MTA embarked on a study to implement congestion pricing in Manhattan in order to alleviate traffic

congestion in the NYC area, known as the CBD Tolling Program. WSP undertook both air quality and greenhouse gas analyses to determine potential impacts associated with implementation of the program. Microscale air quality screening analyses were conducted for 100 intersections

throughout the five boroughs to determine potential carbon monoxide and particulate matter hotspots. An air quality conformity analysis was conducted using MOVES to ensure the project conforms with the current State Implementation Plan for air quality and applicable transportation conformity requirements. A regional air quality analysis was also conducted for criteria air pollutants, mobile source air toxics, GHG, and energy consumption.
