NYC DOT Curbside Level 2 EV Charging Pilot: Evaluation Report

In June 2021, the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT), in partnership with Con Edison, launched the city\u2019s first curbside electric vehicle (EV) charging pilot program. The pilot includes 100 on-street Level 2 chargers distributed across 35 locations in the five boroughs. Up to 20 additional chargers have been or are in the process of being installed for a separate, but related, pilot that serves the City\u2019s municipal fleet. The focus of this report is the public curbside chargers. The goals of the public curbside Level 2 charging pilot are to: (1) understand the usage patterns of curbside Level 2 chargers in a range of different neighborhood contexts, varying by average income and EV adoption rate, and street types; (2) test the operational feasibility of curbside Level 2 chargers on the streets of New York City, including the frequency of blocked spaces, vandalism issues, and system up-time performance; (3) understand how the presence of EV chargers might impact car owner attitudes towards EVs; and, (4) inform how the City could deploy additional curbside Level 2 chargers. This progress report describes the implementation process and preliminary findings from the first 18 months of the curbside charging pilot, which is one element of the city\u2019s comprehensive EV strategy

Effects of Policies Designed to Keep Firearms from High-Risk Individuals

This article summarizes and critiques available evidence from studies published between 1999 and August 2014 on the effects of policies designed to keep firearms from high-risk individuals in the United States. Some prohibitions for high-risk individuals (e.g., those under domestic violence restraining orders, violent misdemeanants) and procedures for checking for more types of prohibiting conditions are associated with lower rates of violence. Certain laws intended to prevent prohibited persons from accessing firearms -- rigorous permit-to-purchase, comprehensive background checks, strong regulation and oversight of gun dealers, and requiring gun owners to promptly report lost or stolen firearms -- are negatively associated with the diversion of guns to criminals. Future research is needed to examine whether these laws curtail nonlethal gun violence and whether the effects of expanding prohibiting conditions for firearm possession are modified by the presence of policies to prevent diversion
