Introduction

,
,
The information in the report was developed with funding from
the Urban Mass Transportation Agency Section 8 program. The
grant to the L1RPB was obtained through the cooperation of the
Transportation Divisions of both the Nassau County and Suffoik
County Planning Departments. The New York Metropolitan
Transportation Council (NYMTC) supplied ali the basic statistics
from the 1980 Urban Transportation Planning Package (UTPP),
developed by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the
Bureau of the Census.
The data in this report is designed to supplement 3 previous
reports done by the L1RPB that relate to employment and eco.
nomic deveiopment. The first report, Industrial Location
Analyses was completed in 1980, the second, Commercial
Development Analyses was rei eased in 1982, and the third
report, Labor Force and Jobs Analyses was finished in 1983. In
addition, this report updates a series of reports on local and in-
terregional work trips that were produced by the Regional Plan-
ning Board following the 1970 census.
The ties to N.Y. City relative to jobs and modes of travel, plus
the employment patterns and journey to work on Long Island are
designed to be used by public officials and transportation agen-
cies to establish capital funding priorities to facilitate access to
the work sites in the N.Y. metropolitan area. The data in this
report summarizes the highlights of the journey to work. More
detailed statistics are available for special studies.

Summary
xiii
. There was 34 % increase in the number of Long Island
residents who worked on Long Island between 1970 and
1980 compared to a 19% growth of local residents who
worked in New York City.
. Sixty-two percent of Nassau workers were employed on
Long Island and 79% of Suffolk workers were employed on
Long Island. However, only 45% of the aggregate earnings
of Nassau residents and 67 % of the aggregate earnings of
Suffolk residents are obtained from these local jobs.
. Thirty-two percent of Nassau workers and 14% of Suffolk
workers commuted to New York City in 1980. Ten years
earlier 31 % of Nassau workers and 15% of Suffoik work-
ers commuted to the City.
. Commuter flows to New York City were dominated by pro-
fessionais, technicians, managerial and administrative
workers.
. In 1980, 64,175 New York City residents commuted to jobs
on Long Island, which represents a slight decline from a
decade earlier.
. Nassau-Suffolk exported workers with relatively high pay-
ing occupational skills to New York City, while importing
workers with iower occupational skills.
. Sixty.three percent of bi-county commuters to Manhattan
used rail in 1980. In 1970, 61 % used rail to Manhattan.
. Almost 75 % of the Nassau/Suffolk residents commuting to
Manhattan worked between 34th and 59th streets or below
Canal Street. This former area experienced a 24 % in.
crease of Long Island commuters in the last decade and
the latter area, a gain of 9 %.
. Thirty.nine percent of the Long Island residents commuting
to Queens in 1980 were attracted to the vicinity of the two
ai rports.
. Even though more than 22,000 Long Island residents listed
their car as the principal mode of travel to midtown Manhat-
tan, there were absolute increases in rail commuters, es-
pecially within walking distance of Penn Station.
. Future demand for labor force on Long Island could cause
a decrease in out commutation and need to import workers
from New York City.
. There are thirty-two areas in Nassau/Suffolk with over
10,000 jobs. Three quarters of the growth of jobs in the last
decade occurred in these areas.
. Melville had the largest job growth in number and percent.
The Garden City area has the largest concentration of jobs,
over 36,000.
. Ninety-percent of the work trips to Long Island employment
centers is by automobile. Less than 1 % of the workers in
Nassau/Suffoik used the railroad to reach their place of
work and less than 3 % used a bus.
. Carpooling using cars, trucks and vans accounts for almost
18% of the mode of travel to work by Long Island residents.
. Long Island region tends to have higher travel time to work
than all parts of the state outside of New York City.
xiv
. The predominant travel pattern to work almost everywhere
on Long Island is from east to west. Most workers tend to
live east of their place of employment.
. The major employment areas in 1980 should account for at
least 3/4 of all jobs in 1990 which may increase mass tran-
sit use in the more concentrated employment pattern.
. Shorter work trips in the future because of local employ-
ment may contract the peak hour period but increase vol-
ume per hour on major roadways.
. Railroad improvements such as a third main line track are
necessary to improve rail service and create a real possi-
bility of reverse commutation to large local employment
centers.
. Highway improvements should be tied more closely to the
employment centers that are expected to have the greatest
growth in the next decade since the automobile will stiil be
the most significant mode of travel for the journey to work.
This chapter analyzes the economic dimensions of commuter
relationships between Nassau-Suffolk and New York City and
between Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Its purpose is to develop
a more precise understanding of the economic linkages between
suburban Nassau-Suffolk and the New York City labor market.
The analysis utilizes journey-to-work information from the 1970
and 1980 decennial censuses.

I.. . .
An Economic Profile of Commuters
From Nassau-Suffolk to New York City
Between 1970 and 1980, Nassau and Suffolk Counties gained
approximately 213,000 jobs. As a resuit, proportionately more of
the earnings of Nassau-Suffolk residents were generated on
Long Island in 1980 then in 1970. The earnings in this chapter are
the sum of wage or salary income or self-employment income for
individuals. The figures are generally lower than family or
household income.
In 1980, 813,793 bi-county residents worked in Nassau-Suffolk
and an additional 275,575 commuted to New York City jobs1. In
1970, 606,772 bi-county residents worked on Long Island and
231,182 commuted to New York City. Therefore, there was a
34 % increase in the number of Long Island residents who also
worked on Long Island and only a 19% increase in the number of
Long Island residents who commuted to jobs in New York City.
These New York City commuters nevertheless accounted for a
disproportionate share of the earnings of bi-county workers. Con-
versely, although more Long Islanders were employed locally,
they accounted for a relatively small share of the aggregate
earnings of bi-county residents.
In 1979, 62.2 % of Nassau workers were employed in Nassau-
Suffolk but accounted for only 44.9% of the aggregate earnings
of Nassau residents. In 1969, 56.7% of Nassau workers had
been employed within the bi-county area but generated only
41.3 % of the aggregate earnings of county residents. A similar
pattern emerged in Suffolk. In 1979, 79.4% of Suffolk workers
were employed in Nassau-Suffolk but accounted for only 67.0%
of the aggregate earnings of Suffolk residents. In 1969, 75.7% of
Suffolk workers had been employed in Nassau-Suffolk but ac-
counted for only 66.9% of aggregate Suffolk earnings. Although

the proportion of Suffolk earnings originating on Long Island was
almost unchanged between 1969 and 1979, the proportion earned
in Suffolk rose from 47.9% to 49.8% while the proportion earned
in Nassau declined from 19.0% to 17.2%. This reflects the
growth of Suffolk's job base during the 1970s. Proportionately
more Suffolk than Nassau residents- 75. 7 % versus 62.2 %-
worked on Long Island in 1980. This reflects the added distance
and cost of commuting from Suffolk to New York City.
New York City jObs still account for a disproportionate share of
the earnings of Nassau-Suffolk workers. In 1979, 32.2% of
Nassau workers commuted to jobs located in New York City.
They accounted for 41.8% of the aggregate earnings of Nassau
residents. Some 13.9% of Suffolk workers commuted to New
York City jobs and generated 19.6% of the aggregate earnings of
Suffolk residents. Aithough the proportion of Nassau workers
employed in New York City increased slightly from 31.1 % to

32.2% between 1970 and 1980, their share of aggregate earn-
ings declined from 42.6% to 41.8%. This probably reflects the
growing service orientation of New York City's economy. In
general, service jobs pay less than manufacturing jobs.
The figures imply that many of the higher-paying jobs are still
found in New York City. This is confirmed by the median earnings
statistics for commuters. In 1979, Nassau workers employed in
Nassau had a median earnings of $10,162 as compared with
$14,386 for those employed in Suffolk and $21,524 for those
employed in Manhattan. Suffolk residents employed in Suffolk
had a median earnings of $10,384 as compared with $16,517 for
those employed in Nassau and $21,717 for those employed in
Manhattan. Therefore, the median earnings of Nassau-Suffolk
residents employed in Manhattan was more than double that of
those who worked within their respective home counties. The
relatively long commute to a New York City job is apparently
justified by its higher salary.
Another means of evaluating the economic impact of commu-
tation to New York City is to compare the earnings distribution
for those who live and work on Long Island with that for those
who live on Long Island but work in New York City. Of those who
lived and worked in Nassau County, only 20.7% had earnings of
$20,000 or more in 1979. However, of those who lived in Nassau
and worked in New York City, 54.2% reported earnings of
$20,000 or more. Oniy 20.7% of those who lived and worked in
Suffolk had earnings of $20,000 or more as compared with
57.8% of those Suffolk residents who commuted to New York
City jobs.
The occupationai mix of New York City-bound commuters
helps to explain their relatively high incomes. Whereas 32.2% of
Nassau's workforce commuted to New York City jobs, 50.3% of
all Nassau executives and administrators worked in New York
City. Whereas 13.9% of Suffolk's workforce commuted to New
York City jobs, 23.8% of Suffolk's managers and executives
were employed in New York City. Executive and administrative
skills are associated with a relatively high level of compensation.

Note: These figures exceed persons at work in Table 1 because workers without earnings were deleted from Table 1.
A number of other occupational groups were also character-
ized by a relatively high level of commutation to New York City.
For example, 38.6% of Nassau's skilled craft workers-called
precision products workers-were employed in New York City
in 1980. By contrast, two-thirds of those Nassau-Suffolk workers
who were employed as operatives and laborers, which are gen-
erally unskilled occupations, worked within their respective
home counties. Approximately 70 % of those in the service oc-
cupations also worked within their respective home counties.
Changes in census occupational categories between 1970
and 1980 make it difficult to compare commuter flows by oc-
cupation. Nevertheless, it is apparent that in both years, com-
muter flows to New York City were dominated by professionals,
technicians, managerial and administrative workers. Workers in
these occupational categories accounted for 42.8% of Nassau
commuters to New York City in 1970 and for 41.6% of the total in
1980. They accounted for 32.9% of Suffolk commuters to New
York City in 1970 and for 33.6% of the total in 1980. Lower-paid
occupational groups such as service workers, operalives and
laborers accounted for a relatively small proportion of bi-county
commutation to New York City in both years.

Workers in certain industries were also more likely to work in
New York City than locally. In 1980, commutation from Nassau-
Suffolk to New York City was concentrated in the following in-
dustries: transportation, communications and pubiic utilities,
finance, insurance and real estate, and public administration
(government). For example, 57.0% of Nassau workers employed
in transportation, communications and public utilities worked in
New York City as did 42.0% of those employed in finance, in-
surance and real estate and 42.5 % of those employed in public
administration. In Suffolk, 38.1 % of those employed in transpor-
tation, communications and public utilities worked in New York
City as did 24.3% of those in finance, insurance and real estate
and 24.1 % of those in public administration.
Workers in other industries, notably agriculture, forestry,
fisheries, mining, retail trade and services tended to work within
their home counties. In 1980, 80.6% of Nassau workers employ-
ed in agriculture, forestry, fisheries or mining worked in Nassau
as did 74.6 % of all retail trade workers and 76.2 % of those
employed in personal, entertainment and recreational services.
In Suffolk, 81.3% of those employed in agriculture and related in-
dustries, 75.4% of those in retail trade and 79.0% of those in
professional services also worked within Suffolk.
These findings reflect the unique industry distribution of jobs
within the New York Region. Well-paying communications and fi-
nance jobs are located in New York City while population-serving
industries like retailing and services are located in the suburbs
closer to their customers.

A comparison of 1970 and 1980 commuter flows by industry
indicates that there was a decline in commutation to New York
City for those employed in manufacturing. Manufacturing's
share of total commutation to New York City declined from
22.3% to 16.3% for Nassau residents and from 18.7% to 14.0%
for Suffolk residents. This reflects the fact that New York City iost
a substantiai proportion of its manufacturing base between 1970
and 1980. By contrast, there were proportionate increases in
commuter flows to Manhattan for those employed in finance, in-
surance, real estate, professional services, and transportation,
communications and public utilities. For example, the proportion
of Nassau commuters to New York City in professional and re-
lated services increased from 13.8% to 18.9%. This reflects the
growth of financial and other professional serviGes within the
New York City economy.

An Economic Profile of Commuters
From New York City to Nassau.Suffolk
This section anaiyzes the extent non-residents commute to
jobs located in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. In 1980, 56,326
New York City residents commuted to jobs in Nassau County and
an additional 7,849 commuted to Suffolk jobs. In 1970, approx-
imately 62,000 New York City residents worked in Nassau and
an additional 11 ,500 were employed in Suffoik. The slight decline
in reverse-commutation to Nassau and Suffolk Counties reflects
the rapid growth of finance and service jobs in New York City.
Such jobs are an alternative to reverse commutation. In addition,
many emerging Suffoik employment centers are not within easy
commuting distance of most New York City locations.
Those who reverse-commuted from New York City to Nassau-
Suffolk generaily had lower earnings than those who traveled
from Nassau-Suffolk to jobs in New York City. In 1979, 54.2 % of
those Nassau residents who were empioyed in New York City
earned $20,000 or more. By contrast, only 20.6 % of the New
York City residents employed in Nassau had earnings of this
magnitude. In 1979, 57.8% of Suffolk residents employed in New
York City earned $20,000 or more. Only 27.8% of New York City
residents employed in Suffolk reported such earnings.

The occupational mix of cross-commuters between Nassau-
Suffolk and New York City indicates that Nassau-Suffolk ex-
ported workers with relatively high-paying occupational skills to
New York City while importing workers with lower-paying oc-
cupational skiils from New York City. The latter included
operatives, laborers and service workers. In 1980, 21.9 % of
those traveling from Nassau-Suffolk to New York City were ex-
ecutives and administrators. Only 12.2% of those who com-
muted from New York City to jobs in Nassau-Suffolk were ex-
ecutives and administrators. Whereas 9.1 % of those traveling
from Nassau-Suffolk to New York City were operatives and
laborers, 15.8% of those commuting from New York City to
Nassau-Suffolk were operatives and laborers. Whereas 8.7% of
those traveling from Nassau-Suffolk to New York City were ser-
vice workers, 12.1% of those traveling from New York City to
Nassau-Suffolk were service workers.
There were also significant differences in the industry of
employment of cross-commuters between Nassau-Suffolk and
New York City. Commuters from New York City to Nassau-
Suffolk were concentrated in manufacturing, trade and profes-
sional services. Approximately 19% of New York City residents
employed in Nassau worked in manufacturing, 26% were em-
ployed in wholesale and retail trade and 20 % were employed In
professional and related services. Of those commuting from
New York City to Suffolk, 38.7% worked In manufacturing,
21.2% in wholesale and reT.il trare and 15.5% in professional
services. The heavy influx 01 manufacturing workers into Suffolk
reflects the fact that manufacturing accounted for 35% of Suf-
folk's payroll in 1980. In the past decade, manufacturing employ-
ment has moved from New York City and the inner ring suburban
counties to outlying suburban counties such as Suffolk.

By contrast, those who lived in Nassau'Suffolk but worked in
New York City were more highly concentrated in transportation,
communications and public utilities, finance, insurance and reai
estate and public administration (government). Approximately
17.5% of Nassau commuters to New York City and 25.6% of
those commuting from Suffolk to New York City worked in trans.
portation, communications or public utilities. Approximately
12% of those commuting from Nassau.Suffolk to New York City
were employed in finance, insurance or reai estate. Almost 7 %
of those coming from Nassau and more than 10% of those trav-
eling from Suffolk worked in government. These statistics reflect
the concentration of finance and communications jobs in New
York City.
Summary and
Implications for Public Policy
Despite Long Island's growing economic self-sufficiency, New
York City jobs still accounted for a disporportionate share of the
earnings of Long Island residents as of 1979. The median earn-
ings of Nassau-Suffolk residents employed in Manhattan was
more than double that of those who worked within their respec-
tive home counties. In 1980, as in 1970, a high proportion of
Nassau.Suffolk's executives and administrators worked in New
York City. By contrast, Nassau.Suffolk residents with skills as
operatives, laborers and service workers generaily worked on
Long Island.

Between 1970 and 1980, there was a slight decline in reverse
commutation from New York City to Nassau-Suffolk. This re-
flected the rapid growth of financial and service job opportunities
in New York City. Reverse commuters generally had lower earn-
ings than outcommuters. Many worked as operatives, laborers
and service workers in Long Island's manufacturing and retail
establishments.
These findings have several policy implications. The con-
tinued vitality of New York City's economy remains of prime con-
cern to the Long Island area. Of particular concern is
Manhattan's office complex which employs substantial numbers
of Long Island residents. It is essentiai that these outcommuters
be able to reach their New York City jobs in a safe, timely, and ef-
ficient manner. Planned electrification of the Long Island
Railroad will offer commuters an option in terms of faster, more
convenient service, particularly to the midtown and downtown
Manhattan CBD's_ Minor road improvements designed to im-
prove traffic flows will also help. For example, IMIS, the In-
tegrated Motorist's Information System which will become oper-
ational in 1985, will allow traffic to be diverted to other corridors
under peak traffic conditions.
Easing reverse commutation from New York City to Nassau-
Suffolk should also be of prime interest. Current projections envi-
sion selective labor force shortages on Long Island during the
latter part of the 1980s and into the 1990s. Long Island could ex-
haust its indigenous labor force in selected occupations and con-
tinued job growth would then be predicated on attracting greater
numbers of reverse commuters from New York City. Commuter
statistics from the 1980 census indicate that this is already hap-
pening in manufacturing. In 1980, substantial numbers of
reverse commuters were employed as operatives and laborers
in bi-county manufacturing plants. Planned electrification and a
third track on the Long Island Railroad would offer the potential
for more efficient reverse commutation to the Farmingdale, Deer
Park and Ronkonkoma railroad stations, each of which borders a
large manufacturing complex. Further improvements in reverse
commutation by railroad will also be needed as Long Island firms
begin to import additional workers from New York City.
The 1980 census figures Indicate that Long Island has become
more economically seif-sufficient. Nevertheless, external
linkages with New York City remain an important source of in-
come and labor supply_ Steps must be taken to facilitate these
linkages and thereby ensure the continued vitality of the Long
Island economy.

Worktrips are the largest and most regular trip category. They
also constitute the greatest single source of traffic congestion in
urban areas. This chapter analyzes the spatial pattern of
worktrips between Nassau-Suffolk and New York City. It also
analyzes the mode of travel for those who commute between
Nassau-Suffolk and New York City. The analysis utilizes journey-
to-work information from the 1970 and 1980 decennial censuses.
It should be noted that the Census Bureau defines mode of travel
as the principal means of travel or type of conveyance usually
used during the reference week in traveling from home to work.
Therefore, a commuter who utilized more than one mode of
travel would nevertheless be classified under the principal mode,
that used for the preponderance of the trip.
The Spatial Pattern of Worktrips
from Nassau-Suffolk to New York City
In 1980, almost 146,000 bi-county residents commuted to
Manhattan, an additional 83,000 traveled to Queens and approx-
imately 40,000 traveled to work in Brooklyn. Thus, a total of
about 269,000 bi-county residents were employed in these New
York City boroughs. This represents a 10% increase over the
243,500 Nassau-Suffolk residents who commuted to Manhattan,
Queens and Brooklyn in 1970. Between 1970 and 1980, the
number of bi-county commuters to Manhattan increased from
132,439 to 145,864, a gain of about 10%. Those commuting to
Queens increased from 73,340 to 82,915, a gain of about 13%.
Those commuting to Brooklyn increased from 37,725 to 40,128,
a gain of 6.4%.
Aimost 75 % of those Nassau-Suffolk residents who com-
muted to Manhattan worked in the area between 34th and 59th
Streets, or in the area below Canal Street. In 1980, 72,976 bi-
county residents worked in the area between 34th and 59th
Streets. This represents a 24 % increase over the 58,807 bi-
county commuters to this area in 1970. In 1980, 34,464 Nassau-
Suffolk residents commuted to the area below Canal Street. This
represents a 9% increase over the 31,641 bi-county commuters
to this area in 1970.

In 1980, the preponderance of those traveling to Manhattan,
some 64,000 persons, originated in the Town of Hempstead. An
additional 22,800 came from North Hempstead, 23,100 from
Oyster Bay, 7,100 from Babylon, 5,900 from Brookhaven, 9,800
from Huntington, 7,700 from Islip and 3,600 from Smithtown. In
1970, by contrast, 61,000 came from the Town of Hempstead,
21,100 from North Hempstead, 20,300 from Oyster Bay, 6,900
from Babylon, 3,900 from Brookhaven, 8,900 from Huntington,
6,500 from Islip and 3,000 from Smithtown. Thus, between 1970
and 1980, the number of Nassau County commuters to Manhat-
tan increased from 102,572 to 110,317, a gain of 7.6%. The
number of Suffolk County commuters to Manhattan increased
from 29,867 to 35,547, a gain of 19.0%.
Of the 82,915 Nassau-Suffolk residents who commuted to
Queens in 1980, almost 32,000 or 38.6 % of the total, commuted
to the two airports: Kennedy and LaGuardia. in 1980,18,744 bi-
county residents commuted to Kennedy Airport, down from
21,034 in 1970. An additionai 13,245 bi-county residents com-
muted to the LaGuardia Airport-Long Island City area. In 1970,
13,599 Nassau-Suffolk residents worked in this area. In 1980,
there were also a substantial number of bi-county commuters to
the Woodhaven-Richmond Hill Area, 8,613, the Forest Hills-Kew
Gardens area, 7,359, the Flushing area, 7,036, the Jackson
Heights-Elmhurst-Corona area, 6,553, and the Jamaica-Hollis-St.
Albans area, 6,391.
Of those commuting to Queens, approximately 36,700 origin-
ated in the Town of Hempstead in 1980. An additionai 10,710
came from North Hempstead, 11,384 from Oyster Bay, 5,804
from Babylon, 4,833 from Brookhaven, 4,318 from Huntington,
6,616 from Islip, and 2,293 from Smithtown. Between 1970 and
1980, the number of Nassau residents commuting to Queens in-
creased from 52,656 to 58,791, a gain of 11.7%. The number
commuting from Suffolk to Queens increased from 20,684 to
24,124, an increase of 16.6%.

49% of the total, originated in the Town of Hempstead. The
number of Nassau County residents commuting to Brooklyn in-
creased from 28,450 in 1970 to 28,487 in 1980, an increase of
less than 1 %. The number of Suffolk commuters to Brooklyn in-
creased from 9,275 to 11,641, a gain of 25.5 %.
Between 1970 and 1980, the number of Nassau commuters to
the three Boroughs-Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn-in-
creased from 183, 678 to 197,595, an increase of 7.6%. The
number of Suffolk commuters to these boroughs increased from
59,826 to 71,312, an increase of 19.2%.
The most significant aspect of commutation between Nassau-
Suffolk and New York City was the mode of travel selected. In
1980, the only substantial use of the Long Island Railroad oc-
curred for trips to Manhattan. Some 63% of bi-county com-
muters to Manhattan traveled by rail in 1980; 61 % of those
traveling to Manhattan used the railroad in 1970. Between 1970
and 1980, the proportion using the railroad for worktrips into the
area between 34th and 59th Streets increased from 62 % to
68%. However, the proportion using the railroad for worktrips
terminating below Canal Street declined from 66% to 61 % and
auto usage to this area increased commensurately. Approx-
imately 30% of those employed below Canal Street used their
cars for the preponderance of the worktrip in 1980, up from 21 %
in 1970.
In 1980, approximately 90 % of those traveling to Queens used
their cars, about the same as the 89% recorded for 1970. The
only substantial use of the railroad occurred for those who trav-
eled to the Jamaica area. Approximately 36% of them traveled
by railroad and only 59% used their cars. This was a major
change from 1970 when only 8% of the commuters to this area
came by railroad and 84% traveled by car.
Of those commuting to Brooklyn, 74% traveled by car in 1980,
the same percentage as in 1970. Only 22% came by railroad.
The incidence of rail use was highest for those traveling to
downtown Brooklyn, which contains a railroad station. In 1980,
29 % of those bi-county commuters to downtown Brooklyn trav-
eled by rail for the preponderance of their trip.

The following case studies provide more detailed information
about commutation between Nassau-Suffolk and New York City.
The first study analyzes the origins, census tract of destination
and mode of travel of those Nassau-Suffolk residents who com-
muted to the midtown Manhattan CBO in 1980. The second study
performs a similar analysis for those commuting to the down-
town Manhattan CBO. The third study performs a detailed
analysis of those commuting to Kennedy Airport in 1980.
A Case Study of Worktrips from Nassau-Suffolk
into the Midtown Manhallan Central Business District
For purposes of analysis, the midtown Manhattan CBO has
been extended to include the area frum 14th to 59th Streets from
the East River to the Hudson River. The number of commuters to
this area increased from 82,316 in 1970 to 94,023 in 1980. As in
1970, about half of them, 45,863, traveled to the area east of
Fifth Avenue and half, 48,160, worked in the area west of Fifth
Avenue. Worktrip destinations were concentrated in the area im-
mediately north of Penn Station and in the area surrounding
Grand Central Station. In 1980, 11,626 worktrips terminated in
the area bounded by 34th and 42nd Streets, Sixth and Eighth
Avenues. An additional 26,702 worktrips terminated in the area
bounded by 42nd and 56th Streets, Third Avenue and Avenue of
the Americas. Table 2.2 shows the number of Nassau-Suffolk
worktrips terminating in selected midtown Manhattan census
tracts in 1970 and 1980. It indicates a growing concentration of
worktrip destinations in the heavily-traveled midtown census
tracts. These tracts specialize in offices and high-quality retail
activity. The increase in bi-county commuters to these tracts
probably reflects the higher concentration of office space within
these areas. In recent years, job growth in Manhattan has been
concentrated in the financial and service industries. Most such
jobs are housed in offices. They often require the white-collar
skills which are found among Nassau-Suffolk residents.

Whereas bi-county worktrip destinations to census tracts con-
taining a preponderance of offices increased during the 1970s,
there was a perceptible decline in worktrips to those midtown
Manhattan census tracts specializing in wholesaling and/or
manufacturing. For example, the number of bi-county worktrips
terminating between 6th and 8th Avenues, 30th and 34th Streets
declined from 2,672 to 1,464 between 1970 and 1980. This area
is in the heart of the garment district and the worktrip declines
reflect the general loss of garment area jobs during the 1970s.
The number of bi-county worktrips to census tracts west of
Eighth Avenue also generally declined, reflecting the loss of west
side manufacturing and wholesale jobs. For example, the
number of bi-county commuters to the area bounded by 10th
Avenue and the Hudson River, 14th and 38th Streets declined
from 1,132 to oniy 393 between 1970 and 1980.
It seems apparent that bi-county commuters to midtown Man-
hattan are increasingly becoming white-collar workers. This is
consonant with the growing white-collar orientation of Manhat-
tan's economy.

Approximately 77 % of all bi-county worktrips into the area be-
tween 14th and 59th Streets originated in Nassau County. Ap-
proximately 72,000 Nassau residents commuted into midtown
Manhattan; 56 % of them, approximately 40,000, originated in
the Town of Hempstead. The Towns of North Hempstead and
Oyster Bay each sent 14,500 commuters into this area daily in
1980.
Almost 22,000 commuters originated in Suffolk County. Ap-
proximately 6,600 came from the Town of Huntington. The
Towns of Babylon and Islip each sent approximately 4,300 com-
muters into this area in 1980.
The modal split for worktrips into the midtown Manhattan area
indicates the extent to which mass transit is being utilized by
Long Island residents who commute to midtown Manhattan. In

interpreting the following statistics, it should be remembered
that the Census Bureau defines mode of travei as the principal
means of travel and that those who designate automobile as
their mode of travel may not actually drive into the midtown area.
For example, they could drive to an area of Queens adjacent to a
New York City subway line and use the subway for the remainder
of their journey into the midtown area. Many Long Island resi-
dents are able to find parking areas close to subway stations in
Queens. The auto trip from Nassau or Suffolk generally con-
sumes more time than the subway trip. Therefore the subway
usage figures are undercounted.
In 1980, 22,579 Nassau-Suffolk residents used their cars as the
principal mode of travel into the midtown Manhattan CBD; an addi-
tiona163,731 traveled by Long Island Railroad. In 1970, 16,375 bi-
county residents used their cars; an additional 52,792 traveled by
railroad. Therefore, between 1970 and 1980, an additional 6,204
bi-county residents came by car. This represents an increase of
about one-third. An additional 10,939 Long Island residents came
by railroad. This represents an increase of about 21 %.
In 1980, the highest volume of rail trips occurred for worktrips
terminating in the area immediately adjacent to Penn Station.
For example, almost 10,000 rail trips terminated in the area be-
tween 34th and 42nd Streets, Avenue of the Americas and Eighth
Avenue. Rail trips as a percentage of rail and auto trips was also
highest for those commuting to the area within walking distance
of Penn Station. For example, the percentage of rail trips for bi-
county commuters to the areas between 26th and 42nd Streets,
Avenue of the Americas and Eighth Avenue was 85 %. This per-
centage declined with distance from Penn station. For example,
the percentage of rail worktrips terminating between 23rd and
54th Streets east of First Avenue was only 50% in 1980. Similar
percentage declines were evident for trips terminating west of
Tenth Avenue.
Absolute increases in the number of rail commuters were also
highest in the areas within walking distance of Penn Station. For
example, the number of rail commuters to the area bounded by
34th and 50th Streets, Avenue of the Americas and Eighth
Avenue increased by about 6,000 between 1970 and 1980.
These findings imply that the difficulty in using public transpor-
tation from Penn Station to midtown Manhattan destinations on
the extreme east or west sides makes it more likely that work-
trips to these destinations will be undertaken by car or by car and
subway rather than by railroad.

A Case Study of Worktrips From Nassau-Suffolk
into the Downtown Manhattan Central Business District
The downtown Manhattan CBO is defined as the area south of
Canal Street. In 1980, 34,464 bi-county residents commuted to
this area. They accounted for approximately 25% of all worktrips
to Manhattan. In 1970, 31,641 bi-county residents commuted to
this area. In 1980, worktrips tended to be concentrated in the
areas south of Vesey and Fulton Streets. Almost 8,500 bi-county
residents commuted to the area bounded by Broadway, Vesey
Street, the West Side Highway and the Battery. An additional
9,800 bi-county residents commuted to the area bounded by
State Street, South Street, Liberty Street and Broadway.
Approximately 74% of all bi-county worktrips into the
downtown Manhattan CBO originated in Nassau County. Some
25,000 Nassau residents commuted to downtown Manhattan;
57 % of them, approximately 14,400, originated in the Town of
Hempstead. The Town of North Hempstead sent approximately
5,400 commuters to downtown Manhattan. The Town of Oyster
Bay sent an additional 4,900 commuters to the downtown area.
Almost 10,000 Suffolk residents commuted to the downtown
area. Approximately 2,100 originated in the Town of Huntington,
2,200 in the Town of islip, 1,800 in the Town of Babylon and
1,500 in the Town of Brookhaven.

According to the 1980 Census, 21,149 bi-county commuters to
the downtown Manhattan CBO used the railroad as their prin-
cipai means of travel. An additional 1 0,443 traveled by car for the
major segment of their worktrip. The ratio of rail-to-auto trips for
those commuting to the most heavily traveled downtown census
tracts was similar to that for worktrips into the midtown Manhat-
tan area.

The ratio of rail-to-auto trips to less heavily traveled downtown
census tracts was much lower. These tracts are not within easy
subway access from Penn Station. They are also located outside
the dense downtown office complex and have more parking
available.

Worktrips to Kennedy Airport, 1980
A Case Study 01 Worktrips Irom Nassau.Sullolk
to John F. Kennedy International Airport
In 1980, 18,744 bi-county residents commuted to the Kennedy
Airport area, down from 21,034 in 1970. This represents a
decline of 11 %. Approximately 68 % of all worktrips originated in
Nassau County in 1980; the remaining 32% came from Suffolk.
As in 1970, 98 % of all worktrips to this area were made by car in
1980.
In 1980, the largest number of commuters, 9,036, originated in
the Town of Hempstead. An additional 2,477 came from the
Town of Oyster Bay, 1,628 from the Town of Babylon, 1,285 from
the Town of North Hempstead, 1,074 from the Town of Brook-
haven and 1,803 from the Town of Islip. Therefore, the pre-
ponderance of worktrips into the Kennedy Airport area originated
in the southern portion of Long Island. This geographic pattern of
origin also characterized worktrips into Kennedy Airport in 1970.

The Spatial Pattern of Worktrips from
New York City to Nassau.Suffolk
Today, sufficient numbers of New York City residents work in
Nassau-Suffolk to generate significant traffic in the reverse
direction. In 1980, some 61,000 Manhattan, Queens and Brook-
lyn residents commuted to jobs in Nassau-Suffolk. This repre-
sents a 6% decline since 1970, when approximately 65,000
Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn residents worked in Nassau-
Suffolk. Almost 80% of all reverse commuters originated in
Queens. In 1980, some 48,000 Queens residents were employed
in Nassau-Suffolk, about the same number as in 1970. More than
90% of them worked in nearby Nassau County. In 19804,500
Manhattan residents commuted to jobs in Nassau-Suffolk, the
same number as in 1970. An additional 8,400 Brooklyn residents
held bi-county jobs, down from 12,200 in 1970. Therefore, except
for declines in the number of Brooklyn residents employed in
Nassau-Suffolk, there were striking similarities In the pattern of
reverse commutation between New York City and Nassau-Suf-
folk in both 1970 and 1980.
In both years, the largest number of reverse commuters came
from eastern Queens. In 1980, for example, almost 11,000
reverse commuters originated in the Queens Village-Glen Oaks
area of Queens. An additional 6,000 originated in the Laurelton-
Springfield Gardens area. More than half of the 4,500 workers
who commuted from Manhattan to Nassau-Suffolk came from
the area above 59th Street. Brooklyn reverse commuters were
evenly distributed between three zones: Flatbush-Canarsie,
Downtown Brooklyn, and Bay Ridge-Borough Park.
These findings suggest that despite substantial employment
increases in Nassau-Suffolk during the 1970s, reverse commuta-
tion from New York City failed to increase during the decade. In
fact, the number of reverse commuters declined slightly. Part of
the explanation may be that Queens residents who would nor-
mally commute to jobs in adjacent Nassau County also had the
option of traveling to Manhattan, where large numbers of finan-
cial and service industry jobs were generated between 1970 and
1980. Moreover, Manhattan jobs could be reached by public
transportation, including newly-instituted express buses. By con-
trast, most Nassau job locations could only be reached by car
from Queens. Whatever the explanation, it appears that New
York City residents did not benefit, in terms of employment, from
the large increase in jobs that occurred in Nassau-Suffolk during
the 1970s.
The mode of travel used by reverse commuters in 1980 was
similar to that utilized in 1970. Most came by car. Among reverse
commuters coming from Manhattan, 66% came by car in 1980
as compared with only 62% in 1970. Among those coming from
Queens, 84 % came by car, about the same proportion as in
1970. Among lhose originating in Brooklyn, 79% came by car as
compared with only 70 % in 1970. Those using buses and/or sub-
ways for the reverse journey declined proportionately-from
21 % to 10% in Manhattan, from 12% to 11 % in Queens and
from 20% to 9% in Brooklyn. There was however, a small in-
crease in the proporlion of Manhattan and Brooklyn residents
who used the Long Island Railroad for the reverse journey. Some
16% of those commuting from Manhattan used the railroad as
compared with only 14% in 1970. Approximately 9% of those
coming from Brooklyn traveled by railroad as compared with 6%
in 1970.
Therefore, except in rare instances, mosl reverse commuta-
tion from New York City 10 Nassau-Suffolk still occurs by car.
The only significant use of the Long Island Railroad for reverse
commutation occurred for those Manhattan residents who re-
sided between 34th and 59th Street, within easy reach of Penn
Station. The only significant use of buses and subways for
reverse travel occurred for those living in the Jamaica-Kennedy
Airport areas and in downtown Brooklyn.
Implications for Public Policy
During the past decade, Long Island's employment base and
resident labor force expanded rapidly. Nassau and Suffolk Coun-
ties gained approximately 213,000 jobs between 1970 and 1980.
During the same period, almost 250,000 new workers entered
the Long Island labor force. Current commuter linkages between
Nassau-Suffolk and New York City reflect these changes. It
should be noted that the relationship between job growth and
labor force growth is not a one-lo-one relationship. That is, some
of the new labor force entrants commuted to jobs outside the
Long Island area. By the same token, some of lhe new bi-county
jobs were filled by commuters from New York City.

Commutation From Nassau-Suffolk to New York City_ The
recent growth of jobs on Long Island and the growing depth and
diversity of the bi-county employment base curtailed the growth
af bi-county commuters to Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn. Be-
tween 1970 anc' 1980, the number of Nassau-Suffolk residents
who commuted to jobs in these boroughs increased from
243,504 to 268,907, an increase of 25,403 or about 10%. The
number of commuters originating in Nassau increased from
183,678 to 197,595, a gain of 13,917 or almost 8%. The number
of commuters originating in Suffolk increased from 59,826 to
71,312, a gain of 11,486 or about 19%.
These gains are extremely modest, given the surge of new labor
force entrants on Long Island. For example, from 1970 to 1980,
Nassau's labor force increased from 587,880 to 655,584, a gain of
67,704 or almost 12%. Suffolk's resident labor force jumped from
404,201 to 574,338, a gain of 170,137 or about 42%.
As a result of the modest increase in outcommutation from
Nassau-Suffolk to New York City, the ratio of outcommuters to
total bi-county labor force participants actually declined between
1970 and 1980. In Nassau, this ratio declined from 31.2 % to
30.1%. In Suffolk it declined from 14.8% to 12.4%.
This ratio is likely to decline even more in coming years. Long
Island Regional Planning Board projections indicate that 162,000
jobs are likely to be created on Long Island during the 1980s but
that only 48,000 new workers are expected to enter the bi-county
labor force. In effect, more than three jobs will be created for
every new worker during the 1980s and the labor surplus of the
1970s will be transformed into a labor shortage during the 1980s.
Therefore, Long Island residents will increasingly be able to find
employment within Nassau and Suffolk Counties. The an-
ticipated proliferation of jobs in sophisticated business services
will draw some financial and management personnel who cur-

rently work in Manhattan back to Long Island. While the crush of
automobiles traveling Long Island highways in the direction of
New York City during morning rush hours will not disappear in
coming years, commuter pressure in this direction will probably
not increase. In fact, automobile congestion may be significantly
ameliorated if some of these trips can be siphoned off by the
Long Island Railroad and by greater utilization of carpools.
Commutation From New York City to Nassau-Suffolk.
Despite the rapid growth of jobs on Long Island, reverse com-
mutation from Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn to Nassau-Suf-
folk failed to increase between 1970 and 1980. In fact, the
number of reverse commuters from these boroughs to Nassau-
Suffolk actually declined slightly. The decline reflected a falloff in
reverse commutation from Brooklyn. The number of commuters
from Brooklyn to Nassau-Suffolk declined from 12,231 in 1970 to
8,402 in 1980. By contrast, the number of reverse commuters
from Manhattan held constant at about 4,500. The number of
reverse commuters from Queens held constant at about 48,000.
There are a number of explanations for the failure of reverse
commutation from New York City to increase as expected. For
example, much of the recent job growth has occurred in western
Suffolk. It is likely that some New York City residents employed
in Suffolk moved to Long Island during the 1970s to be closer to
their jobs. New York City residents also had the option of working
in Manhattan's booming office sector instead of reverse com-
muting to Long Island Jobs.
Given current projections of iabor force and job growth on
Long Island, reverse commutation from New York City to Nas-
sau-Suffolk should increase considerably in coming years. As
long as affordable housing remains available, those New York City
residents employed on Long Island will attempt to move to Long
Island. Once it costs more to move to Long Island than to com-
mute from New York City, they will choose to commute thereby
causing added road congestion in the reverse direction. There-
fore, to assure that Long Island's job base will grow as projected,
affordable housing as well as better public transportation in the
reverse direction will be needed.

Concentration of
Employment
Analysis - Methodology
In order to better understand commuting patterns on Long
Island, it is necessary to identify major employment concentra-
tions. The data to accomplish this was derived from the 1980 Ur-
ban Transportaiton Pianning Package (UTPP). Local information
was used to provide a check on the reliability of the data and to
aid in its analysis.
The Urban Transportation Planning Package provides tabula-
tions at the census tract and block group levels for workers by
place of residence and place of work. The census tract level was
used as the basis for much of this analysis. Block groups are
much harder to identify than census tracts and the accuracy of
the data is questionable.
The first step in working with the data was to check it for
reliability. Different types of employment were checked using dif-
ferent sources.
Commercial employment was checked against the 1977 Cen-
sus of Retail Trade. This source contains data for Major Retail
Centers (such as malls) and total retail employment in incorp-
orated villages with a population of more than 2,500 peopie.
From this one source alone, it can be seen that several large
shopping centers had been allocated to the wrong census tract
and in one case the wrong town. Shopping centers are a problem
because they usually do not have a street address and are,
therefore, hard to code into a specific census tract. Examples of
shopping centers which were incorrectly coded are:
. Green Acres Mall
. Roosevelt Field
. Sunrise Mall
. Gardiner Manor Shopping Center
. South Shore Mall
. Sun Vet Mall
. Smithaven Mall
The error in these shopping centers alone amount to over 15,500
jobs. Another check on commercial employment was the Com-
merciai Development Ana/yses-1982 by the Long Island
Regional Planning Board. This report contains data on office
buildings, shopping centers and hotellmotel development. The
office space section was invaluable in checking employment
produced by major office buildings.
43
Several sources were available to check industrial employ-
ment. The 1977 Census of Manufacturers was useful in pinpoint-
ing industrial jobs as was the Industrial Location Analyses-19aO
by the Long Island Regional Planning Board. This study verifies
that approximately 13,000 workers were incorrectly placed in
Farmingdale when they actually worked in East Farmingdale.
This error is, therefore, reflected in the Town of Oyster Bay and
Nassau County, being 13,000 workers too high and the Town of
Babylon and Suffolk County, being 13,000 workers too low. Other
sources used to check industrial employment were the 19a1
Directory of Manufacturers by the Nassau County Department of
Commerce and Industry and the Suffolk County Department of
Economic Development; and the New Plants and Expansions
newsletter produced by the Long Island Lighting Company.
The number of service workers was found in the 1977 Census
of Service Industries. While no discrepancies were found using
this source, it was added to the total employment to check area
totals.
The Long IslandlBusiness Research Bureau maintains a list of
major employers as does the Long Island Regional Planning
Board. These lists showed several major employers which were
erroneously coded to adjacent census tracts. These included
Central Islip and Kings Park Psychiatric Centers, Brookhaven
Memorial Hospital, the State University of New York at Stony
Brook and Entenmanns Bakery.
Nassau and Suffolk County civil service employment was also
used as a source for checking numbers. Because Suffolk County
buildings do not usually have addresses, they were sometimes
coded in the wrong census tract and in two cases the adjacent
tract was in the wrong town. This occurred with the H. Lee Den-
nison Building and the New York State Office Building, both in
Hauppauge, and the Riverhead County Center which is actually
in Southampton Town.
One other source used was public school empioyment. While
individual school employment is relatively small, schools do pro-
vide some employment to a great many census tracts. One cen-
sus tract in Hauppauge contains the high school and junior high
school, but was reported as having no workers.
The 1970 and 1980 journey to work data was compared at the
census tract level. This pinpointed discrepancies between the
two census years.
The sum of these previously mentioned data sources served
as a general indication of the accuracy of the census data when
the 1980 tract data was aggregated to the Census Designated
Place (COP) level. For the most part, the data checked out very
well. Errors in the data were generally related to large postal
districts, many of which crossed town and community bound-
aries. Oata for the five eastern Suffolk County towns were of little
use since the data was poorly allocated, or not allocated at all.
The poor allocation was mainly due to rural postal delivery,
which omits street addresses, and the extensive use of post of-
fice boxes.
Knowing the limitations of the data, it is now much easier to
accurately define employment centers. The census tract level is
clearly not accurate enough to be used as defining employment
concentrations. For this reason groupings of census tracts were
used. The easiest way to group tracts is to group them into the
Census Designated Places (COP's). This has the added feature
of providing these groupings with a recognizable place name. It
also provides data that is easily checked and found to be much
more accurate. An unexpected advantage to grouping by place
was that many workers, especially in New York City, were not
coded to their census tract of work but were coded to their place
of work. This improved the count of workers by place of work,
which was significant in western Nassau County.
Although the accuracy of the data was much improved by
using COP's as the basis of the study, there were still some ob-
vious inconsistencies in some areas. in order to maintain the in-
tegrity of the data, several employment centers are comprised of
two or three CDP's. These groupings tended to approximate
those postal districts which were found to have had coding er-
rors. Three employment centers were designated to reflect unof-
ficially recognized clusters. These include
. Great Neck peninsula
. Port Washington peninsula
. the Five Towns area of Cedarhurst, the Hewletts,
Inwood, Lawrence and Woodmere.
There were thirty-two employment centers designated, each
providing jobs for at least 10,000 workers. These employment
centers account for almost two-thirds of all the jobs on Long
Island. Nassau County contains nineteen of the employment
44
centers; Suffolk County has twelve, and there is one loeated in
both counties. Appendix table 3.1 contains the employment
center ran kings.
A map was made for each employment center. These maps
used census tracts as a base to show the origin of workers who
come to that employment center. Unlike the destination data,
which had serious problems coding jobs to census tracts, the
origin data was much more accurate at the census tract level.
The 32 Major Employment Centers are shown on Figure 3.1.
The individual maps follow page 71.
Job Growth in Major Employment Centers
The Journey to Work data on a tract basis from the 1970 and
1980 census has been allocated into the 1980 community and
employment center areas to provide some idea of the magnitude
of change in jobs in the areas with the largest amount of employ-
ment. At least 3/4 of all the growth has occurred in the 1980
employment centers. Of the thirty-two largest employment areas
in 1980, all but two, Hempstead and Bethpage, experienced
grow1h in the decade. The major employer in Bethpage is Grum-
man and the decline in employment there created the commun-
ity loss. The Village of Hempstead sustained office and commer-
cial abandonments which resulted in an 8.2 % loss of jobs. The
following table summarizes the job growth in both county's
employment centers.
Table 3.1 shows that Melville is the area that has by far the
largest amount of job increase and the highest percentage
growth which is attributable to large office complexes that have
made Melville the number one area on Long Island in total
square feet of office space. On a percentage basis there were
more Suffolk County communities in the upper growth rate. How-
ever, in total number of jobs, Nassau County communities, such
as Syosset-Woodbury, Garden City Area, Hicksville-Jericho
and the Lake Success-New Hyde Park area, each added ap-
proximately 9,000 to 11,000 jobs. The Syosset-Woodbury area
added office jobs to an existing industrial base. Industrial and
retail development in the Garden City area was supplemented
by extensive office growth. The Lake Success-New Hyde Park
Area also experienced a significant amount of office growth with
some industrial expansion.

Suffolk communities with very high percentage growth after
Melville included Stony Brook, Port Jefferson Area,
Bohemia.Ronkonkoma and the Amityville Area. There were
different types of job growth in all of these locations. The institu.
tional jobs at Stony Brook were supplemented by more insitu-
tional jobs with the opening of the Stony Brook Health Science
Center. The Port Jefferson Area had a combination of jobs, but
added new retail and offices to the existing employment. The
Bohemia-Ronkonkoma area expanded transportation related
jobs and added extensive industrial growth plus some office
growth. The Amityville Area, with an existing industrial and
retail base, experienced industriai expansion.
Industry 01 Employment in Major Employment Centers
The Journey to Work data summarized the industry of employ-
ment of all workers. This information has been placed in seven
general categories in order to analyze the type of jobs that exist
in each of the major work places. Appendix Table 3.1 lists the
thirty-two largest empioyment centers and provides the total
number of workers and the seven major categories of employ-
ment in each center.
Industrial employment which includes manufacturing and
wholesaie trade is often one of the higher paying occupations.
There are a few communities which are very dependent on in-
dustrial jobs. Table 3.2 indicates the employment centers with
the largest percentage of industrial jobs.
The Grumman facility at Bethpage accounts for most of the
70% of that community's jobs that are industrial related. The
Farmingdale Area and Deer Park also have more than half of
their jobs in the industrial category. Table 3.3 ranks the industrial
jobs by order of magnitude.
The Farmingdale Area appears at the top of this list with over
16,000 industrial jobs. The overwhelming proportion of these
jobs are in the community of East Farmingdale, which is iden-
tified in the 1980 Industrial Location Analyses done by the Long
Island Regional Planning Board as the area with the largest
amount of industrially zoned land used for industrial purposes.

Melville and Hicksville-Jericho have a high number of in-
dustrial jobs. However, the mix of jobs in both of these areas
places them iower on the list in terms of percentage of industrial
jobs. Communities such as Stony Brook, East Meadow and the
Manhasset area, have the least amount of industrial jobs with all
having a figure of 5 % or less.

The Five Towns area in southwestern Nassau County has
more than one-third of all jobs in the retail category.
The next group on the list, Valley Stream, Huntington,
Babylon and Manhasset Areas, all have major shopping
centers that contribute a large amount of retail jobs to the overall
employment base. If you can compare total numbers of retail
jobs, you obtain a very different picture, except for the Hun-
tington area. Table 3.5 shows the absolute number of retail jobs
in the five largest concentrations of retail employment.
The Garden City Area is far ahead of other locations since it
includes Roosevelt Field Shopping Center, which is the largest
on Long Island and the Garden City business district, which is
one of the few central business districts that acts as a regional
commercial center. Hicksville-Jericho includes large commer-
ciai centers, such as the Plaza at Mid-Island and the largest
Sears facility on Long Island. The Huntington Area contains the
Walt Whitman Shopping Center, the Huntington central business
district and various community centers.
The employment centers that have the least reliance on retail
jobs are Bethpage, Hauppauge and Melville. Less than 10% of
the employment in these areas is in the retail category.

The largest proportion of these jobs was oriented so that an
employment center with a large concentration of these jobs is
expected to have a large proportion of office or institutional uses.

The Stony Brook community leads the list with more than
70% of the jobs in the finance-business-professional category.
The professional jobs at the State University and the Health
Science Center account for the bulk of the employment. East
Meadow Area, Rockville Centre, the Manhasset Area, and
Brentwood-Central Islip follow. All of them have hospitals in
the community or nearby and as a result, have a high proportion
of professional jobs and related office jobs. East Meadow con-
tains the Nassau Medical Center. Rockville Centre has offices
and nearby South Nassau Community Hospital. The Manhasset
Area has North Shore Hospital and a branch of Long Island
Jewish Hospital, and the communities of Brentwood and Cen-
tral Islip each have State Psychiatric Centers. At the other end
of the scale are the Bethpage, Farmingdale Area, and Deer
Park employment centers, which are heavily industrialized and
have the lowest percentage of office type jobs. Table 3.7 gives
the absolute number of office type jobs in the major employment
centers.

Only the Brentwood-Central Islip Area was in the top five in
both lists. That is because the State hospital jobs In 1980 pro-
duced not only a large amount of employment, but because there
Is a small amount of other employment.
The Garden City Area has over 14,000 office type jobs. The
large office complexes within the Village and at Roosevelt Field,
Adelphi University, Nassau Community College and the Nassau
County Offices account for much of the job total. Melville has
the largest number"of square feet of private office space and is
second on the list of jobs in the finance/business/professional
category.
Table 3.8 shows that Mineola has the highest percentage of
Public Administration jobs followed by Hauppauge, Hemp-
stead, Patchogue Area and East Meadow Area. All of these
locations have some type of Governmental offices. The Mineola
Area has some Nassau County offices, even though the largest
number are found in the adjacent Village of Garden City. It ap-
pears that some of the jobs that are actually in Garden City are
attributed to Mineola, since the main County Center buildings
use a Mineola Post Office.
Hauppauge contains State and County offices, while the
Village of Hempstead contains not only Village facilities, but a
large proportion of the Town of Hempstead public sector jobs.
The Patchogue Area, in addition to the Village administration,
aiso contains most of the Town of Brookhaven employment and
the East Meadow Area contains the Nassau County Jail, in addi-
tion to the Medical Center.

Construction jobs do not represent a large proportion of the
total employment. However, there are a few areas that have
some concentration of this type of employment. Table 3.10 lists
the top lOin this category.
The Valley Stream Area is at the top of the list since it is the
home base of one of the largest construction firms on Long
Island.

There is one final group of jobs shown In Appendix 3.1 which is
labeled other jobs. Other includes
. mining
. agriculture
. forestry
. fishing
. entertainment and recreation
. armed forces
Most of the employment centers have only a few hundred jobs in
this category. Only the entertainment and recreation category
accounts for any significant employment and that is found mainly
in the Garden City area, which contains Roosevelt Raceway and
the Nassau Coliseum.
51
Mode of Travel to Employment Centers
An important aspect of the Journey to Work is the mode of
travel used. The four major modes are
. auto
. rail
. bus/subway
. other
Table 3.11 summarizes the extent that these modes are used to
the 32 employment centers. Persons who used more than one
means of transportation to work were asked to report the one
used for the longest distance during the work trips. If a person
used different means of transportation on different days they
were asked to specify the one used most often.
As expected, the automobile is the dominant means of travel
to work, accounting for 90% of the work trips to Long Island's
employment centers. Workers traveling to Suffolk County cen-
ters were more dependent on the automobile than their Nassau
County counterparts with 93% and 88% using autos, respective-
ly. Seven of the ten employment centers having the highest per.
centage of workers using automobiles are in Suffolk while the
nine centers having the lowest percentage are in Nassau. Four
of the top five centers by percent of persons using autos are
clustered around the Nassau-Suffolk border. These four centers
alone account for over 105,000 workers depending on autos to
get into this area. This certainly justifies the improvement of the
Long Island Expressway as it approaches the county line and es-
pecially to the east of the county line where service roads are
sporadic or nonexistent. The Five-towns area stands out as
having the least automobile oriented workers of any employment
center with only 77.5% of the people working there using autos
to get to work.
There was a very small number of workers using the Long
/sland Railroad to get to their Long Island jobs. Less than one
percent of the people working on Long Island used the railroad to
get to their jobs. The figure for Nassau was twice what it was for
Suffolk. The highest percentage of workers in an employment
center using the railroad was 2% in Mineola and Rockville
Centre_ The Garden City Area had the greatest number of rail
commuters with 504 followed by Mineola, Hlcksville-Jericho,
Great Neck Area and the Five-towns all having between 300
and 400 incoming workers using the railroad. The small number
of rail commuters is the result of most suburban jobs not being
located near train stations and the scheduled service being
heavily skewed towards New York City. It Is evident that the
railroad will continue to playa minor role In providing access to
the places of work on Long Island with planned railroad im-
provements being a greater benefit to Long Island residents
working in New York City and not the other way around. Better
schedules and an additional track should be considered to serve
Long Island employment centers with rail access.
The railroad does not serve minorities to a great extent. About
three quarters of all Nassau-Suffolk residents using the railroad
to get to work are male. Nassau black and hispanics comprise
only 6.3 % of the railroad users but make up 9.2 % of the total
workers. Suffolk blacks and hispanics make more use of the rail-
road than Nassau's. In Suffolk 10.4% of railroad users are black
and hispanlc while they comprise 8.9 % of the workers.
Bus and Subway service account for 15,300 workers or 2.6 %
commuting to Long Island employment centers. This is a little
over three times the number accomodated by the railroad. Most
of these trips are by bus although because of the way the census
question was posed some multi modal commuters using the sub-
way for part of their trip would be classified as coming to work on
Long Island by subway. Garden City Area, Lake Success-New
Hyde Park Area, Five-Towns and Hempstead all have over
one thousand workers in the bus/subway category, with Garden
City Area being the highest at 1,919. The Five-Towns area has
the highest percentage of incoming workers using the bus or
subway at 7.8%. This may be because of the proximity to the Far
Rockaway subway station. Only 14 % of the workers In the
bus/subway category were commuting to Suffolk County employ-
ment centers. The 2,084 persons going to Suffolk County by
bus/subway is a small number because the Suffolk Transit
system was in its early stages when the 1980 census was con-
ducted. Many new routes and new buses have been added to the
system since 1980. The 1990 census will reflect the growth of
this new system but the percentage of workers going to work in
Suffolk County by bus will still be small relative to automobile
users. Bus systems are Important to Long Island because much
of their ridership are lower income and other mass transit depen-
dent people.

Bus transportation is very important in serving minorities for
their journey to work. In Nassau County blacks accounted for
26.7% of all residents who used a bus as their primary mode of
transportation to work. Of all black workers in Nassau County,
10.8% depended on a bus to get to work. This percentage is four
times as high for biacks as it is for all workers in Nassau County.
Suffolk County blacks also account for a disproportionately iarge
share of bus ridership with 13.8 % of the total. Although females
account for about 40% of ali workers in Nassau-Suffolk, they ac-
count for 62.7% of bus users in Nassau and 63.8% in Suffolk.
Hispanics account for 8.2% of bus users in Nassau as opposed
to 3.1 % of all workers. Hispanic bus useage in Suffolk is near the
norm for all workers.
The other category includes persons who walk to work, ride a
bike or motorcycle to work or work at home. This category ac-
counts for 39,180 or 6.6% of those working on Long Isiand. Most
of the people in the other category live in the same employment
area in which they work. Nine of the top ten areas by percent are
in Nassau County with the Five-Towns area being the highest at
13.1%.
In the region the number of workers who carpool amounts to
more than all other modes except driving alone. In Nassau Coun-
ty, more workers use public transportation than carpool, but the
figures are sharply reversed in Suffolk County, where there is a
lower density of population and less accessibiiity to pubiic
transportation.
Generally, carpoolers have iower incomes than their counter-
parts who drive alone. The major exception is white carpoolers in
Suffolk County who have a median income greater than whites
who drive alone. The median incomes for most minority groups
were about $2,000 less for carpoolers than for those who drove
alone. Truck and van poois seem to better serve lower income
minorities in Suffolk. The median worker incomes for Black and
Hispanic truck and van carpoolers, in Suffolk, were 58.3% and
52.1 %, respectively, of what they were for those who drove
alone.
All minority groups make greater use of carpooiing than
whites. In Nassau County one-fifth of all white workers, using
cars, trucks or vans as the principle mode of transportation to
work, carpool. By contrast, over one-fourth of the workers in
each minority group carpooled. In Suffolk County, where a higher
percentage carpool, the situation is similar with over 30 % of
black and hispanic workers c-arpooiing.
Women also make greater use of carpooiing than men. In
Nassau County 22.3 % of femaie auto, truck and van users car-
pooled as opposed to 18.9% of males. In Suffolk County the dif-
ference is less pronounced with 23.1 % of the females and
22.8 % of the males carpooling.

Carpooling
There has been a trend towards a greater use of carpooling.
Park and ride centers have been constructed at many Long
Island Expressway interchanges to encourage more ride shar-
ing. Table 3.12 shows the mode of travel of Long Island residents
and the proportion of workers who carpool as compared to the
other modes.

Travel Time to Work - Residents
The Travel lime to Work is related to
. type of transportation available
. accessibility to major routes
. congestion on these travel routes
. residents income and occupational level
The Long Island region tends to have travel times higher than
other parts of New York State, except for most of New York City.
Even though, the city has extensive mass transportation, it also
has extremely high travel congestion and this resulted in a high
average travel time in the journey to work. Table 3.14 indicates
the various travel times for workers sixteen years of age and
over who do not work at home, for the State, the Nassau-Suffolk
area, and New York City.
The mean travel time is shown at the end of the Table 3.14.
The Nassau-Suffolk figure is thirty-two minutes, which is above
the Statewide average of twenty-nine minutes and below the
New York City average of thirty-eight minutes. All boroughs of

New York City have higher average times with the exception of
Manhattan, where the average travel time, because of the high
density population and nearby subway service, results in a one-
half hour average for the typical worker. The five eastern towns
of Long Island all have the lowest mean travel times, while the
Towns of Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Huntington and the City of
Long Beach have an average that is above the mean figure for
the region.
An analysis of the total number of workers who live in close
proximity to their jobs shows that the eastern end of Suffolk Coun-
ty and the City of Glen Cove have the largest proportion of workers
who travel less than ten minutes to work. The Town of Oyster Bay
has the same proportion, 11.9%, as the region, while the Town of
Smithtown has the smallest proportion of workers living less than
ten minutes away from their place of employment.
At the other end of the scale, there are communities whose
workers travel more than one hour to work. Generally, Nassau
County communities are at the top of the list, western Suffolk
Towns are in the middle and eastern Suffolk Towns are at the

bottom, with the fewest number of people travelling more than
one hour to work. The two cities are an interesting contrast in
this comparison. The City of Long Beach has the highest propor.
tion of people who travel more than one hour to work, whiie the
City of Glen Cove has a percentage rate half that of Long Beach
and very similar to the eastern end of Long Island. Even though
both cities are located on the shorefront, Glen Cove is a major
employment center, while Long Beach has a minimal number of
local jobs; therefore, people in the latter city must travel time.
consuming distances in their journey to work.
The travel distance for individual villages and communities is
shown in Appendix 3.2.
The communities with the highest proportion of people who
travei less than ten minutes to work are either Islands or East
End communities. The only exception is the community of East
Garden City, which has a small population that is made up of col.
lege personnel and military families who work in the local area.
The communities with the highest percent of workers who
travel a long distance to work are shown in Table 3.15.
Table 3.15 shows that of the top twenty communities in per.
centage of workers who travel more than one hour to work,
seventeen are affluent villages. Only two of the communities are
in Suffolk County and most are located on peninsulas or other
locations away from job centers, and major transportation. The
exceptions are Matinecock, Munsey Park, Muttontown, Belle.
rose and Malverne Uninc. Clearly, the long travel time to work is
not completely a function of the geography since, even though a
number of villages, such as Centre Island, Sands Point and
Asharoken, are difficult to reach, others are much more acces.
sible to the major travel routes. Generally, the more affluent
worker tends to travel towards more specialized job locations
and may be less dependent on nearby job opportunities.
Travel Time to Work - Employment Centers
The automobile is the major mode of transportation to the
Long Island work sites. On the average, there is almost a ten
minute difference in average travel time between the work
center that has the highest average travel time, Bethpage and
the Babylon Area, which has the lowest travel time. Table 3.16
and 3.17 show the longest and shortest auto trips to some of the
work centers.

The longest automobiie trips are to the large industrial and of.
fice centers that are generally accessible to the limited access
road system, but draw their personnel from fairly long distances
from the work site. The shortest work trips are to shorefront
areas that generally do not attract employees from a wide por.
tion of the region.
A ranking of the bus travel to the various employment centers
indicates an even wider difference between travel time from the
highest to the lowest level. This accounts for the limited use of
bus service to some centers.

The Plainview industrial area records the longest average bus
trip followed by the industrial complexes in Syosset.Woodbury
and Deer Park. Generally, these areas and Farmingdale, which
are also in the long travel category, are closer to the centers of
population than Port Jefferson Area, which ranks No.4, and is
far removed from a large population concentration.
58
I
Hauppauge and Bethpage, which are among the shortest
bus trip areas, have large concentrations of employment within a
constrained area which probably makes a short bus trip feasible.
The Amityville Area benefits by having bus service from both
the Nassau and Suffolk Counties bus systems, while the Hun-
tington Area is served by the local Town of Huntington bus
routes. The Port Washington Area is a very local oriented work
force and, therefore, short bus trips from home to job site could
be expected.
The 'above data represents a summary of the complete prInt-
outs which contain total travel times and average time for auto,
rail, bus and other means of travel from each census tract to
each major work place in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. This
materiai is available for use by persons conducting research for
a specific area.
Traffic Patterns and Type of Jobs in
Major Employment Centers
The attractions of the employment centers for locai and out of
area residential employment has been analyzed for all of the
thirty-two employment centers. The overall pattern is one of a
limited attraction from New York City and a predominately east
to west traffic pattern in the journey to work for many of the
employees in the largest job centers. (See Chapter I for the type
of jobs held by New York City residents).
The amount of workers from New York City to the Nassau-Suf-
folk area is strictly based on a proximity to New York City with
very few exceptions. There are four job concentrations that ad-
join the New York City line - Great Neck Area, Five Towns,
Lake Success-New Hyde Park Area and the Valley Stream
Area. All of these are among the five highest in percentage of
New York City residents employed on Long Island. The Manhas-
set Area, which ranks number 4 of the top 5, attracts New York
City residents because it is directly accessible to Long Island Ex-
pressway and Northern State Parkway interchanges. Predic-
tably, all the Nassau County centers have higher proportions of
New York City work force than the Suffolk areas (see Tables 3.20
and 3.21). The Melville office center has the highest Suffolk at-
traction for New York City residents. Following that is Stony
Brook, with jobs centered around the university ana hospital,
along with the Hauppauge, and Bohemia-Ronkonkoma in-
dustrial centers. The Huntington Area also has some attraction
for New York City residents.

The internal attraction between Nassau and Suffolk Counties
is quite different, from each county. A higher proportion of Suf-
folk residents are drawn to the major employment centers in
Nassau County than Nassau residents are drawn to Suffolk.
Centers on the border or in the central corridor comprised of the
Long Island Expressway and the Northern State Parkway, are the
major attractions for Suffolk residents to Nassau. The commun-
ity of Bethpage, which contains Grumman, draws half of its
work force from Suffolk County. Other places such as Lake Suc-
cess and Port Washington draw more workers from Suffolk
County than communities that are closer to the Suffolk border
(see Table 3.22).
The Suffolk County employment centers that are along the
border or are in Huntington or Babylon Towns, predictably at-
tracted the most Nassau residents with the job centers in
Brookhaven drawing the least. The airport related jobs in
Bohemia-Ronkonkoma attract the highest percentage of work-
ers in the area furthest from the Nassau-Suffolk border (See
Table 3.23).

The previous two tables show that communities along the bor-
der in Nassau County attract a higher proportion of the work
force from Suffolk than the border communities in Suffolk attract
from Nassau. One-third of the Syosset-Woodbury work force
lives in Suffolk, and 30% of the Plainview work force is com-
prised of Suffolk County residents. On the other hand, Melville
and Amityville Area draw only one quarter of the work force
from Nassau County. If you compare two major job centers that
are equi-distant from the border and are accessible to the major
road corridors, you find a very different attraction in each Coun-
ty. Hauppauge only attracts 7% of its work force from Nassau
County to the west, while Hicksville-Jericho draws 25% of the
work force from the east in Suffolk County.
Employment Centers and Localized Work Force
The 32 largest employment areas on Long Island have been
categorized according to the amount of employees who live and
work in the same geographic area. These areas are viewed as
ones that have less of a dependence upon access from outside
of the community for the local employment. The following table
ranks the major employment centers by the proportion of work-
ers who live and work in the immediate area:

Table 3.24 shows that the areas on the top of the list are
generally shorefront communities which are often difficult to
reach from large portions of the Island. Employment centers 1
through lOon the list all fall in this category. Areas that are
generally accessible from the east-west parkway and express-
way system or with direct north and south parkway or express-
way connections attract most of their workers from out of the
area. Only two of the ten areas on the bottom of the list do not
have direct parkway accessibility to the concentrated area of
employment. Conversely, only two of the top ten communities
are accessible to the direct parkway-expressway system.
Overall, the largest employment areas that are in the more ac-
cessible category have the least amount of local work force,
while the smaller areas tend to have a larger local work force. A
few exceptions are Hicksville-Jericho, Brentwood/Central
Islip Area, the Bay Shore Area and the Huntington Area which
are large employment centers that have large residential com-
munities which generate a fairly significant local labor force. A
few of the smaller employment areas such as Manhasset Area,
Deer Park, Rockville Centre and Hempstead tend to have a
higher proportion of workers from outside of the community.
Major Employment Centers-Summary
The following section summarizes the travel patterns and type
of employment in the thirty-two largest employment centers.
Also inciuded is a projection of the amount and type of growth
that can be expected in each of the centers.
1. Garden City Area. This employment area encompasses the
Village of Garden City and the East Garden City area. The Mineola
Government Center, Adelphi University, Roosevelt Field and Mit-
chel Field are a part of these two communities. The largest
amount of workers reside in Garden City, Mineola, Hempstead
and Uniondale. East Meadow also supplies a large number of
workers. There are also commuters of 200 or more from the Cities
of Glen Cove and Long Beach, and some locations in the Hun-
tington area generate over 100 workers. The bulk of the
employees come from the eastern 2/3 of Hempstead Town, while
9% are generated from New York City; 13% from Suffolk County.
61
The retail and office jobs categories account for more than
two-thirds of all the employment in this central Nassau County
location. Many of the industrial jobs that existed in East Garden
City have been replaced by white collar jobs. The future develop-
ment will be very heavily oriented to new offices. Construction
since 1980 at Mitchel Field plus projects in planning for later in
the decade in the same area will increase the number and pro-
portion of the office and retail category.
2. Hicksville-Jericho. This is a large office industrial retail
complex with a large number of employees from all sections of
Hlcksville, Jericho, Bethpage, Levittown, Plainview and Old
Bethpage. The area attracts workers from allover Oyster Bay
Town and equal amounts from the Town of Hempstead and west-
ern Suffolk County. Only 6% of the work force is drawn from
New York City.
There are equal proportions of industrial and finance-
business-professional jobs. However, current office construction
and the lack of expansion area for manufacturing will shift the
employment pattern to a largely white collar area.
3. Melville. This community was a former industrial area that
has now become the largest office center on Long Island. There
is virtually no indigenous population to supply workers since the
nearby area is developed with medium to low density housing.
One-quarter of work force is drawn from Nassau County and
there are workers that live in all parts of Huntington and Babylon,
most of Smithtown and the southern half of Oyster Bay Town.
There are some concentrations of workers all the way from
Queens to Caiverton; however, most of these new jobs are for
workers who reside east of the Route 110 area.
The small difference between industrial jobs and office jobs
will expand to a very large difference in the very near future.
Many of the office buildings, buiit since 1980, are fully occupied
and new ones are under construction or are in the approval
stage.
4. Farmingdale Area. This large industrial center straddles
the County line and is comprised of the Village of Farmingdale
and the unincorporated areas of South Farmingdale in Oyster
Bay Town and East Farmingdale in Babylon Town. Overall, the
area attracts more workers from Suffolk County since most of
the employment is physically located in Suffolk County. There is
a large local work force, and equal amounts of employment from
Babylon Town and southern Oyster Bay Town. The western edge
of Hempstead Town and the west section of Islip Town also sup-
ply a significant amount of workers to the Farmingdale area.
More than half of the jobs are industrial in nature and this pro-
portion is expected to remain constant since the avaiiable land is
likely to be used for additional manufacturing.
5. Lake Success-New Hyde Park Area. This geographically
large employment complex includes the Villages of Lake Suc-
cess, New Hyde Park, Stewart Manor and North Hills and the
unincorporated areas of North New Hyde Park, Garden City Park
and Herricks. The original employment in this large area was
mostly industrial with some retail. In the last decade, there has
been a significant shift to major office development. Many of the
workers are drawn from the immediate area in the northwestern
part of Hempstead Town, western North Hempstead Town and
East Central Queens. However, there is a spread-out work force,
possibly because of the existence of the Sperry plant so that the
labor force is made up of 25% from New York City and 14%
from Suffolk County. There are over 500 trips to this area from
each of the western Suffolk towns, and this is the furthest center
to the west in Nassau County that attracts a measurable amount
of Suffolk residents.
The roughly equal amounts of finance-business-professional
jobs and those in industry are going to be heaviiy unbalanced in
favor of the former category as the new office space in North Hills.
Lake Success and North New Hyde Park attract more em-
ployment than the older industrial complexes in New Hyde Park
and Garden City Park along with the Sperry Plant in Lake Success.

6. Syosset-Woodbury. This industrial, office and retail con-
centration comprises the unincorporated areas of Syosset,
Woodbury and Locust Grove. The area attracts 1/3 of its work
force from Suffolk County and even has concentrations of
employees living In Queens and central Brookhaven. However,
most employees live locally or come from nearby Plainview,
Hicksville, Old Bethpage, Oyster Bay and Bayville and Hun-
tington Station.
62
Even though industrial parks were the original employment
base in all three component areas of this center, the conversion
or the new development of office space has shifted the jobs to a
40% finance-business-professional, 32% industrial mixture, The
current trend is towards a wldening'of the gap even though there
is some industrial expansion.
7. Hauppauge. This area draws a small amount of workers
from immediate surrounding areas and only attracts 7 % of its
work force from Nassau County, even though it is one of the
most accessible areas in western Suffolk. Industrial, office and
public jobs are the major components of the employment, and a
predominance of the work force is from ISlip, Brookhaven and
Smlthtown. Some workers are drawn from as far away as Sout-
hold and Southampton; however, the attraction for Huntington
and Babylon residents appears low in spite of the accessibility.
The main journey to work trip is one of an easterly direction along
with a north-south direction only in the immediate area.
Almost half of the employment is industrial related and that
proportion is apt to remain for the next decade or two as the very
attractive industrial parks are expanded to encompass all the re-
maining industrially zoned land in the community.
8. Westbury Area. This employment center is comprised of
the Village of Westbury with a concentration of retail jobs, the
New Cassel community to the east with industrial employment,
and Carle Place to the west which has been converted from
mostly industrial to retail. This center falls between the large
employment areas of Garden City, Mineola and Hicksville-
Jericho. The job cluster in Carle Place adjoins the Mineola and
Garden City East job concentrations while the employment
grouping in Westbury Village and New Cassel abuts Garden City
East and Hlcksville-Jericho, creating a continuous corridor of
work sites in central Nassau County. There is a large local
employment base along with concentrations or workers from
southern North Hempstead Town, eastern Hempstead Town and
the central portion of the Town of Oyster Bay. There is some at-
traction from New York City (10%) and Suffolk County (18%).
Industrial employment is slightly ahead of finance-business-
professional. However, further conversions to retail will probably
result in three equal proportions of each of these types of
employment.
g. Bethpage. The Grumman plant accounts for the major part
of the employment in this community. It is the only community on
Long Island that attracts equal proportions of its work force from
each of the two Counties. There are approximately 10,000
employees from Nassau and the same amount from Suffolk that
commute to Bethpage. The largest numbers come from southern
Oyster Bay, eastern Hempstead Town, western Babylon Town
and the central portion of the Town of Huntington.
Over 70 % of the employment is categorized in the industrial
group and a majority of the jobs are expected to remain as in-
dustrially oriented even though new office development will add
white collar jobs to the community.
10. Brentwood-Central Islip. This area attracts some
employment from the local area and a concentration from the
adjacent North Great River part of Central Islip. Most of the
employment for these communities is generated from other
parts of Islip Town and a large part of Brookhaven. There is a
limited amount of employees that are drawn from Nassau County
and the nearby Towns of Babylon, Huntington and Smithtown.
Over half of the 1980 jobs in this employment area were
classified as professional due to the existence of the two state
Psychiatric Centers. The reduction in size of both institutions will
reduce the number of jobs in the professional related category.
Some will be replaced by the growth of Suffolk Community Col-
lege, N.Y. Institute of Technology and a possible court center. In-
dustrial jobs with approximately 15% of the total will increase
because of the availability of land that is more adaptable to
manufacturing than office development.
11. Bay Shore Area. This employment center is made up of
Bay Shore, North Bay Shore and Islip. There is manufacturing
employment in North Bay Shore, retail employment to the south
plus office development and public jobs in the Bay Shore and
Islip business areas. There are local concentrations of em-
ployees and almost 2/3 come from the Town of Islip. The eastern
part of Babylon Town and the southwestern part of Brookhaven
Town comprise the bulk of the remainder of the work force.
The primary employment groups are unlikely to change since
there is land available for a variety of jobs in this large geo-
graphic area.
63
12. Huntington Area. This employment center that has exten-
sive retail and office uses comprises the unincorporated areas of
Huntington, South Huntington, and Huntington Station. For the
most part, it is an inaccessible area from other parts of the
region because of the traffic congestion and inferior roadways.
That is the main reason why it has the largest local work force in
Suffolk County. There are very few employees drawn from Baby-
lon and Islip Towns and all of Nassau County, even though a lot
of the employment is close to the County line.
The small industrial base of 15% has no room to expand.
Medium sized professional office space has been and probably
will be the primary source of added employment.
13. M i neola. This village has a lot of office, retail, hospital and
manufacturing employment in a small area with a very heavy
local work force. There are smaller concentrations of employees
that come from the Villages of Garden City and Hempstead. The
community draws large amounts of employees from other parts
of Hempstead Town, northern Oyster Bay and the southern por-
tion of the Town of North Hempstead.
Considering the amount of employment in the immediate area,
there is a small proportion of retail. Lack of land for industrial ex-
pansion means the job mix will remain heavily oriented to office
categories.
14. Five-Towns. This employment area includes the densely
populated corner of Nassau County that includes the Villages of
Lawrence, Cedarhurst, Hewlett Bay Park, Hewlett Neck, Hewlett
Harbor, Woodsburgh and the unincorporated communites of
Woodmere, Hewlett and Inwood. Most of the manufacturing jobs
are in Inwood with retail and office jobs being the most important
uses in the remainder of the area. It is a very localized work force
with the exception of a 20% attraction of workers from the near-
by area in Queens. This is a very inaccessible area from the re-
mainder of Long Island. Therefore, most of the employees come
from the southwest portion of Hempstead Town. Less than a
thousand people commute from Suffolk.
One-third of the jobs are now in retail and another third in
finance-business-professional. The limited room for expansion of
all categories will mean a retention of the current proportions.
15. Great Neck Area. This employment center includes the
Villages of Great Neck, Great Neck Plaza, Great Neck Estates,
Kings Point, Kensington, Russell Gardens, Thomaston, Saddle
Rock, and the unincorporated portion of Great Neck. It has a
very large local work force since the area has very high popula-
tion density and is not very accessible from other parts of the
region. The proximity to New York City gives it the highest pro-
portion of city resident work force than any other area in the
region. The northern part of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay
Towns and the northeast section of Queens are where most of
the workers live. Half of the jobs are comprised of office related
uses. Recent trends indicate a conversion from industrial to of-
fice uses so the future proportion will be even higher. Retail ex-
pansion is difficult so that category will remain in the 20-25%
range.
16. Valley Stream Area. This employment complex has major
retail space and some manufacturing and office uses. It is com-
prised of the Village of Valley Stream and the unincorporated
areas of North Valley Stream and Valley Stream South. The
Village has high concentrations of residents in its work force
which overall is very localized since 2/3 come from Hempstead
Town. Twenty percent come from adjacent New York City and
there is no significant employment drawn from North Hempstead
Town, Oyster Bay Towns, or any parts of Suffolk County.
Post 1980 expansion of Green Acres Shopping Center should
shift the future employment closer to one-third retail and one-
third finance-business-professional.
17. Plainview. This employment center is made up mostly of
industrial uses and has a fairly large local work force. Many of
the employees are from central Oyster. Bay and 30% come from
Suffolk County. Overall, there is a fair dispersion of workers scat-
tered along the north shore from Great Neck to Stony Brook,
because of the excellent accessibility from the Northern State
Parkway and the Long Island Expressway directly into the Plain-
view industrial parks.
Over 40% of the jobs in Plainview are industrial and it is
unlikely that a large amount of the buildings will be converted to
office or retail uses. Expansion and use of remaining vacant land
will retain the industrial orientation.
64
18. Hempstead. The largest amount of work force- comes
from the Village and nearby Uniondale and Roosevelt. The office
and retail jobs attract peopie from Queens and Brooklyn, and
Huntington and Babylon. However, 2/3 of the work force comes
from the Town of Hempstead.
The public utilities and Industrial jobs are expected to remain
constant while the public administration, retail and finance-
business-professional should expand as new County court fac-
ilities and related office uses are built.
19. Amityviile Area. This center includes the Village of
Amityville and the unincorporated communities of North Amity-
ville and Copiague. It has a large local work force from the
southern parts of Oyster Bay Town and Babylon Town and the
southwest portion of the Town of Islip. A few people are attracted
from the north shore; however, 25% of the work force lives in
Nassau County due to the proximity of the jobs to the County line.
Industrial and office jobs each account for one-third of the
local employment and should remain in those proportions as the
remaining vacant or underutilized land is developed.
20. Babylon Area. This area encompasses Babylon Village
and the unincorporated communities of West Babylon and North
Babylon. It has only a fair amount of local residents employed
and draws employees from the eastern part of Babylon Town and
the western portion of Islip. The workers appear to be more wide-
ly scattered than from the nearby Amityville area since there is
better accessibility via east/west limited access roads and the
north/south Deer Park Avenue.
Office and retail employment are the major groups with in-
dustry accounting for less than 20% of all jobs. Land is not
available for much industrial growth so the present proportions
should remain for the next decade.
21. Bohemia-Ronkonkoma. There are some local concentra-
tions of employees to this industrial and office center. However,
more than 2/3 of the work force resides throughout the Towns of
Islip and Brookhaven. There are very few Smithtown residents,
considering the proximity to that town and a very small amount
of Huntington and Babylon employees. This activity center draws
a higher percentage of workers from Nassau County than any
other central Suffolk County work site. The existence of Long
Island MacArthur Airport and its specialized jobs could be the
reason.
I ~
At present 70% of the jobs are classified as industrial or
finance-business-professional. The large amount of land
available for industry around the airport and the existence of va-
cant land adjacent to the office buildings should retain this pro-
portion and greatly increase the total number of jobs. Growth
since 1980, mostly in the industrial category, has been extensive
in both component communities.
22. Patchog ue Area. This employment center contains the
Village of Patchogue and the communities of East Patchogue
and North Patchogue. This office and retail center has a strong
local employment base along with a large number of employees
from nearby Medford and North Bellport. The area attracts peo-
ple from eastern Islip Town, most of Brookhaven and as far east
as Southold Town.
The office and retail jobs, including public administration ac-
count for 70% of the total employment. There is room for some
industrial expansion; however, the 15 % proportion is unlikely to
increase.
23. Freeport. This empioyment center is a central business
district which also has a high concentration of industrial and of-
fice jobs. There is a very strong local work force and 3/4 of the
work force resides within the Town of Hempstead. The connec-
tion to the Meadowbrook Parkway makes the jobs more accessi-
ble than many others along the south shore. However, most of
the empioyees appear to come from the east rather than the
north. There are more employees drawn from the Town of Baby-
lon than from the Town of North Hempstead.
The finance-business-professional and industrial jobs each ac-
count for 30 % of the work force. Some redevelopment oppor-
tunities offer expansion possibilities but not a major shift in
overall types of employment.
24. Manhasset Area. This is a major office employment area
which includes retail and medical jobs. The area encompasses
Manhasset and the Villages of Munsey Park and Flower Hill.
There is a strong local concentration of employees from the
Town of North Hempstead. However, more employees come
from Queens than from either Hempstead or Oyster Bay Towns.
The employees are scattered all the way from eastern Queens to
Huntington.
65
The overwhelming proportion of professional and retail jobs
which now represent 80% of the total should remain the major
use in the future.
25. Deer Park. This industrial center attracts a fair amount of
local employment since more than 1/3 of the employees come
from the Town of Babylon. Large amounts of employees come
from the Towns of Islip, Huntington and Brookhaven, and smaller
amounts from Oyster Bay and Smithtown.
Half of all jobs are industrial related and the current and future
growth indicates at least two-thirds of all jobs could be in this
classification by 1990.
26. Glen Cove. The industrial and professional jObs in this City
attract a very strong local work force, along with other em-
ployees who live In Sea Cliff, Locust Valley and Bayville. There Is
little other attraction from other parts of the Town of Oyster Bay
because of the inaccessibility of the City. The employees that
come from out of the area tend to come from east or west rather
than south.
Industrial jobs represent more than one-third of the local
employment but little available land should mean an increase in
the proportion of the other job types.
27. East Meadow Area. This employment center includes a
large amount of medical and retail jobs. It encompasses the
unincorporated communities of East Meadow and South West-
bury. There is some local employment. However, most of the
employees come from the eastern portion of the Town of Hemp-
stead and some nearby census tracts in the Town of Oyster Bay.
Industry is inconsequential in the overall picture, which is, and
will continue to be dominated by medical and retail jobs.
28. Rockville Centre. There is some local work force to this
retail-office employment center. About 85% of the employees
come from Nassau County and most of these are in the south
central portion of the Town of Hempstead. There is no attraction
for workers from the north since the Parkway system orients traf-
fic in the east-west direction and there are no limited access
facilities in the northerly direction. The Village draws more
employees from Queens and the Towns of Islip and Babylon than
the nearby Town of North Hempstead.
There is very little land that could be allocated to industrial use
so that category should remain around 10%, while the strong
professional components continues to account for more than
half of all jobs.
29. Port Jefferson Area. This area has a large amount of pro-
fessional jobs and a strong local concentration of employees. It
includes the Villages of Port Jefferson and Belle Terre, along with
the unincorporated community of Port Jefferson Station. Outside
of the immediate area, the employees come from northern
Brookhaven and scattered communities in the remainder of the
Town.
The finance-business-professional category now comprises
half of the local jobs. An even greater proportion is possible in
the future even though there is some land available for industrial
and retail growth.
30. Oceanside. This is an industrial, retail and business center
that has a very localized work force because of inaccessibility to
other parts of the region. Employees are drawn mainly from the
adjoining communities and the City of Long Beach. There are
more employees from Queens than either the Towns of North
Hempstead or Oyster Bay. The largest amount of Suffolk County
employees are from the Town of Babylon. limited industrial and
retail expansion is possible but a change in the proportion of jobs
is unlikely in the near future.
31. Port Washington Area. This employment center includes
the unincorporated Port Washington area plus the Villages of
Manhorhaven and Port Washington North. The area has some in-
dustry and a large amount of financial, business and professional
jobs. It has the most localized labor force of any of the employ-
ment areas on Long Island. Forty-five percent of the workers live
within the local community, mainly because the area is not easily
reached from other portions of the region. Only 20% of the work
force live outside of Nassau County. However, there are almost
400 workers who are attracted from the Town of Huntington.
Since 1980 there has been industrial expansion in the former
sandpit area so there should be a short-term expansion of this
type of job. Accessibility will limit future growth to office and
retail jobs.
66
32. Stony Brook. Approximately 3/4 of the work force is
employed in office jobs in this predominantly public employment
concentration that contain the State University. There is a very
strong local work force along with a large number of employees
from nearby Port Jefferson. The location of residence of the
employees is concentrated in northern Brookhaven, the north-
east part of Smithtown and some sections of the Town of Islip.
There is a very limited opportunity for industrial growth so the
present job mix is expected to remain.
Appendix Table 3.3 provides detailed transportation data to
the 32 employment areas. Appendix Table 3.4 and 3.5 provide a
summary of all worktrlps in the region by place of residence in
1970 and 1980 and Place of Work in 1970 & 1980.
Future Job Growth
A large amount of new employment is expected in the same
areas that now have the greatest amount of jobs. Availabie land,
the possibility of reuse, fairly good access and nearby services
will continue to be attractive in the existing employment centers.
Outside of the thirty-two areas Identified In this report. there are
smaller centers that have between 5,000 and 10,000 employed
persons. These include Nassau communities such as Levittown,
Massapequa, Lynbrook, Merrick, Baldwin, Wantagh and Long
Beach. None of these communities which are made up of mostly
commercial and small scale office employment are expected to
Increase enough to surpass the larger employment areas.
Suffolk County communities with between 5,000 and 10,000
jobs include Commack, Lindenhurst and Holtsville. Commack,
because of its proximity to the Hauppauge industrial complex, is
expected to grow in employment. The community has excellent
access and some available non-residential land. Holtsville has
the IRS Center as its job base and has available industrial land
nearby. Therefore, it also has the capacity to be a major employ-
ment center. Lindenhurst is likely to have insignificant growth
because there is little land available for new construction and
large scale redevelopment appears unlikely in the near future.
Other communities that are expected to have job growth are
Uniondale with the EAB Plaza on former Mitchei Field land,
Holbrook with available and accessible industrially zoned land;
and Yaphank with very accessible industrial land, a major shop-
ping center site and the existing Suffolk County Center.
67
Conclusion
Currently thirty-two major employment centers as identified
from the 1980 census contain two-thirds of all jobs on Long
Island. In the last decade more than three-quarters of the new
jobs were created in these thirty-two areas. Projections indicate
that at least this proportion of new jobs will be added to the ex-
isting centers so that at the end of this decade, they should ac-
count for 75 % of all the regions' employment. This future con-
centration of work sites could make bus and car pool oppor-
tunities greater in the future as the spreadcity pattern on Long
Isiand gradually shifts to a centers approach as envisioned in
the 1970 Comprehensive Pian for Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
That plan also promoted the concentration of new housing in
relation to the work places. This has not happened to a great ex-
tent except for some new condominium construction that has
created some housing clusters not too far from some of the larg-
est job centers. The drawback in terms of providing housing
resources to ihe work places is that many of the new units are
very expensive or are targeted for retirees, thus excluding a
iarge portion of the potential workers.
Traffic volume on the principal east-west arterials may in-
crease at a slower rate in the coming years, but peak hour traffic
congestion may not decrease significantly no matter what
physical improvement or ride-sharing programs are imple-
mented now or in the foreseeable future. One obvious reason is
that any road system has limited capacity and the road system
on Long Island is in-place and essentially mature. Any capacity
improvements will only be marginally effective. Further, the loca-
tion of the major employment centers require that one of the
principal east-west arterials be used for part of the work trip.
With more workers both living and working on Long Island, the
peak hour period may be contracted because people have to
travei shorter distances, but the volume per hour on the road-
ways may Increase proportionately. This phenomenon may oc-
cur even as people begin to reside further and further east.
68
Recommendation s
The need for a continued flow of employees into the major
employment centers should be a concern of all employers in the
region. It was pointed out in the 1983 Long Island Regional Plan-
ning Board report, Labor Force and Jobs Analyses, that in the
next decade, based on job creation, employment and job trends,
it might be necessary to import labor force. Labor force growth is
slower than job growth in the 1980's which results in a very
favorable low unemployment situation in this region, coupled
with the need to import workers from New York City. This need is
likely to change the overall journey to work patterns and require
certain actions in order to attract the necessary labor force. At
present workers living in New York City and working in Nassau or
Suffolk Counties commute by automobile. Many such com-
muters now travel to nearby areas in western Nassau County.
The need for longer trips in the future could result in an increase
in the dependence on bus and railroad. The bus patterns can be
shifted to a morning eastbound configuration somewhat easier
than the Long Island Railroad, since they do not require a fixed
right-of-way. However, the operations on the railroad, even
though more difficult to change, could provide more reverse
commutation opportunities. Some of the employment areas that
are either large at the present time, or are expected to grown in
the future, are accessible to existing or proposed railroad sta-
tions. Hicksville, Westbury, Bethpage and the Brentwood-
Centrallslip area fall within this category. The electrification at
the latter stations will provide improved service to these areas.
The new stations at Ronkonkoma and Deer Park, which will also
be on an electrified line, also will be in this category. The max-
imum use of the railroad for reverse commutation will not be
feasible unless a second track is built to Ronkonkoma. The
largest job concentration, Melville-East Farmingdale, will have
an electrified station at Farmingdale, while there is also an op-
portunity to create a railroad station at East Farmingdale that
could be used to make bus connections throughout the Route
110 Corridor. Consideration in all of this reverse commutation is
the need for extra track capacity on the main line of the railroad.
A third track through the main line corridor west of Hicksville is
necessary to maintain the important westbound traffic for the
commuters who will continue to be attracted to certain New York
City jobs, while allowing reverse traffic for the expanded employ-
ment centers on Long Island.
70
The shorter work trip will also make people less inclined to use
ridesharing either in the form of mass transit or carpooling. Trav-
el time generally must be greater than 30 minutes for people to
begin to consider carpooling and greater than 45 minutes for
vanpooling to be considered. According to the 1980 Census, the
average work trip time is 31 minutes in Suffolk County with 25%
of the work force travelling more than 45 minutes. When it is con-
sidered that a large portion of those travelling more than 45
minutes are using the Long Island Railroad and most of the re-
mainder are travelling to rail-inaccessibie areas of New York
City, then the potential universe of ridesharers may be limited;
and at least with regard to carpooling, most of the people who
are inclined to carpool are currently carpooling and it would be
difficult to induce others to do so. Travel time also has a bearing
on transit use; particularly for choice riders, those who could use
their automobiles. Auto travel time, even with congestion, may
be less than the total time required for using transit when travel
to the bus stop and waiting time are considered.
69
The aforementioned New York City linkages, as shown in the
earlier sections of this report, are important because of the
amount of income that is returned to Long Island from employ-
ment in New York City. Therefore, Long Island residents should
take a greater interest and support many of the improvements
that are either under way, being considered, or are future
possibilities that will have an effect on access to New York. The
West Side Storage Yard in Manhattan and the Penn Station im-
provements which are under way are both very important ele-
ments to improving access. Improvements to the track and ac-
cess to and around Jamaica are important as is the possible use
of unused East River tunnels. Decisions on these items are to be
made in the very near future. They would improve the access to
other areas of New York City from many parts of Long Island.
Where there is a greater concentration of employment in
specialized areas on Long Island, it is important to take advan-
tage of the mass transit opportunities. Mass transit services in
the form of different sizes of buses to meet different needs
should be available as early as possible to the various employ-
ment centers. This will encourage people to establish travel pat-
terns that rely on mass transit rather than the automobile. In
order to take full advantage of the Long Island Railroad elec-
d
~
trification and the potential travel time reduction, it is important
that a priority be given to easing congestion around stations that
are now or will be electrified in the next few years. A reduction in
the time that commuters require to travel from home to station
and from station parking lot to the train can favorably affect
railroad ridership.
The study has shown that the automobile is still a significant
factor in the journey to work trip and will continue to be the main
mode of travel to jobs on Long Island. Therefore, it is very impor-
tant to give priority to making improvement on roads with high
volume and/or low levels of service during peak work travel
times. Often, certain expressway linkages, intersection im-
provements, service road connections, etc. could have a very
significant improvement in rush hour traffic. It is necessary to
orient many of the future road improvement projects directly to
the areas that are likely to have traffic problems, even more in-
tense than those that presently exist. There are 120,000 workers
in the Route 110 Corridor and near the Nassau-Suffolk border
who use autos to get to work. Roadways nearby in the Towns of
Huntington, Babylon and Oyster Bay should have a high priority
for improvement. This has already been done to some extent
with major road widenings, new connections to access roads,
plans for parallel roadways, and service road additions.
