New York City,NY,USA -All American Patriots (press release - Taeby,NA,Sweden) -March 20, 2008: -- New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, toured a pilot program on Staten Island has that already cut transit travel times along a busy corridor to and from the Staten Island Ferry 17 percent... This substantial reduction has been achieved by keeping traffic signals green longer or turning them green sooner as MTA buses approach. The pilot program, which is called a Transit Signal Priority (TSP) program, could be expanded throughout the New York Metropolitan region using funding under the Urban Partnership Agreement (UPA) if the Mayor's congestion pricing is adopted, which would allow the City to receive $354.5 million in federal grant aid...
