City Forward Community At Work Help

Use this control to create a new exploration.

Click the control to start creating a new exploration. An exploration contains one or more data visualizations and text blocks. Each visualization contains attributes that you select from the ‘Add Attributes’ control. You may also select a visualization type such as column chart, line chart, data grid, etc.

Once your visualization is created, you may save it as public, so other people can see the results of your exploration.

“The City Forward Community at Work” displays public explorations based on the selections you make after clicking next to “I’m Interested In”. An exploration contains data visualizations and text blocks that people share with the City Forward community. As you select locations and subjects, the list refreshes to focus attention on the things that interest you. Feel free to take a look at what work others have done and add your comments. Click on the title of the exploration to view it and make your comments in the area on the left side of the page.

“Data Available in City Forward” contains a list of data available based on the selections you make after clicking next to “I’m Interested In”. There are options to display this list by data source, alphabetically, by location, and by subject. As you select locations and subjects, this list is updated to show the data sources and attributes available in City Forward.

Are Toll Increases Reducing Traffic Congestion in New York City?

Created on 22 November 2010 by City Forward

FavoriteMark as Favorite

Description
This exploration shows trends in toll revenue, which has gone up in 2008 and 2009, while traffic on toll bridges and tunnels has gone down slightly. Mass Transit passenger miles have gone up relative to other means of transportation to work, especially in 2008 when there was a toll increase. Are the toll increases reducing traffic congestion? Or are other factors such as unemployment having a larger impact? The sharp rise in unemployment means fewer people traveled to work, but toll revenue still increased due to the higher charges.
Data Sources

Explorations are the foundation of City Forward. They are made up of visualizations and text blocks that let you explore and identify interesting patterns, trends, and correlations about the cities and subjects. Click the video to the right to learn more about how to create an Exploration.

You can combine visualizations and text to explore interesting aspects of available data. Use the Add New button in the Contents section at the top of the page to build your exploration. An initial visualization is created to get you started and you can change its type at any time. The available attributes section provides a list of City Forward data elements that match your filter criteria (specified at the top of the page). Move your mouse over an attribute to learn more about it and add it to the visualization. You can rearrange the visualizations and text by dragging and dropping or use the history control to step back through your last actions. At any time, click Save to save your work and to share your work with others, click Export or Share.
