“New Yorkers who ride buses are marooned and essential service providers like FDNY, EMS and HVAC repair are left stranded,” the report said. The group claims the “well-meaning” gridlock alert days don’t actually help curb traffic in New York City. Riders Alliance’s policy brief asserts that the “well meaning” alerts do little to alleviate the pressure on everyday New Yorkers, particularly those who depend on city buses to get around. This month’s gridlock alert days are Dec. The city Department of Transportation designates gridlock alert days during high-traffic events, namely September’s annual United Nations General Assembly and the December holiday shopping season.

“It’s not nearly enough to beg drivers to leave their cars at home we’ve tried that for 40 years without success,” said the group’s spokesman, Danny Pearlstein. On Thursday, the second official gridlock alert day of the month, the Riders Alliance released a policy brief calling on the city to ditch the “gridlock alert” designation in favor of strategies like HOV restrictions, transit discounts and restrictions on city-used parking permits. Transit advocates want the city to scrap its “gridlock alert days,” which they claim do nothing to stem the crush of cars that cripple NYC streets during the holiday season.
