Traffic Volume Through Covid-19

As the Covid-19 Pandemic struck the world, something that was apparent was the change in motion through the world. Looking specifically at the scope of the Hudson Valley Region, the maps and information below looks into what the traffic volumes in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to visualize and understand how the Covid-19 Pandemic impacted the motion of the Hudson Valley Region, New York. Each map below is interactive with information showing the nodes station number, the correlating road name, and the volume. After that, the line charts shows each node, and their volumes per year, which helps visualize the change each node saw.

VoTransit City will act as the central hub of Vocational Educational Programs and Training. This hub will tie into the existing SUNY Campuses of the Hudson Valley Region, creating a link that will provide ease of access from program to program and allow inter-disciplinary interaction and collaboration. With transportation being main focus, this network is to allow vocational programs to innovate, and test, ideas of transportation, whether that is utilizing the current infrastructure available, or inventing and implementing their own. Hudson Valley will serve as their testing grounds.
