Transportation facilities in the New York Bight region include extensive highways, subways, railroads, airports, tunnels, and bridges. In 1970, 14.9 million people lived in the Bight region; there were 6.8 million jobs. The dominant mode of transportation is the automobile. Fully 70% of all weekday trips in 1970 were made by car; 13% were made by rapid transit (predominantly the subway) and 12% by bus. Though New York City contained most of the region's employment (60%) and population (53%) in 1970, decentralizing influences are at work. As the suburban and outer fringe counties grow, their almost total dependence on the automobile will mean increased congestion and pollution unless mass transit utilization is encouraged.
