Public Transit Data Through An Intellectual Property Lens: Lessons About Open Data, Teresa Scassa
Public Transit Data Through An Intellectual Property Lens: Lessons About Open Data, Teresa Scassa
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Article examines some of the challenges presented by the transition from ‘closed’ to open data within the municipal context, using municipal transit data as a case study. The particular lens through which this Article examines these challenges is intellectual property law. In a ‘closed data’ system, intellectual property law is an important means by which legal control over data is asserted by governments and their agencies. In an ‘open data’ context, the freedom to use and distribute content is a freedom from IP constraints. The evolution of approaches to open municipal transit data offers some interesting examples of the …

Sharing The Road: Smart Transportation Infrastructure, Dorothy J. Glancy
Sharing The Road: Smart Transportation Infrastructure, Dorothy J. Glancy
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Smart cities require smart transportation. Advanced Intelligent Transportation Systems provide ever-smarter transportation infrastructure for the United States and countries around the world. Among the most advance forms of ground transportation infrastructure is a group of technologies that connect vehicles invisibly to other vehicles through information exchanges. These advanced transportation technologies are of two types: On the one hand, Connected Vehicle Safety Systems use vehicle-to-vehicle dedicated short range communications technologies. On the other hand, Connected Vehicle Mobility Applicatoins use a muhc wider variety of mobile wireless technologies. These two types of technolofies that connect vehicles will increasingly make existing physical infrastructure …

Urban Energy, Hannah J. Wiseman
Urban Energy, Hannah J. Wiseman
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Growing domestic energy development—the extraction of fuels and construction of electricity generation facilities—poses new challenges to a country accustomed to importing much of its energy. As has always been the case, fuel in the form of oil, gas, sunlight, wind, water, or other energy sources must be extracted wherever it happens to be found. Compounding this challenge is the fact that some of our most abundant remaining energy sources exist in low concentrations and are widely distributed. As we tap these sources in ever more numerous locations, energy development bumps up against certain human population centers. The City of Fort …

The Next Generation Of Greenwash: Diminishing Consumer Confusion Through A National Eco-Labeling Program , Jessica E. Fliegelman
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Since the 1990's there has been a continuously growing movement among advertisers to appeal to consumers by touting how environmentally friendly their products are. This note addresses the prominence of misleading and deceptive environmental claims that have prompted appeals for improved federal regulation. Specifically, the Note focuses on the emerging trend of carbon advertising and national and international models that provide guidance on preventing deception. Part I conveys the current status of environmental advertising and the necessary background principles for establishing regulations. Part II details major criticisms of the current environmental advertising guidelines and proposed models for restructuring environmental advertising …
Climate Change, Consumption, And Cities, Alice Kaswan
Climate Change, Consumption, And Cities, Alice Kaswan
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Part I of this Article highlights the nation’s high level of energy consumption and argues that policies directed solely at tailpipes and smokestacks will fail to reach climate change goals. Part II of this Article observes that recently proposed federal legislation does not sufficiently address consumption. Part III argues that direct local land use and green building measures can and should play a critical role in reducing demand. Part IV recognizes that, notwithstanding the institutional and practical arguments in favor of local initiatives, significant barriers could slow their adoption and implementation. Part V argues that federal legislation could overcome obstacles …
Cogeneration: A Successful Response To The Energy Crisis?, Charles M. Pratt
Cogeneration: A Successful Response To The Energy Crisis?, Charles M. Pratt
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article examines the concept of cogeneration, a term for the simultaneous production of both electricity and other useful energy in a single facility by a cascading use of heat energy. It analyzes the rise of cogeneration through the lens of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 ("PURPA"), enacted by Congress to improve the distribution of electric energy and encourage the conservation of resources, as well as the efforts of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") to encourage cogeneration. This article discusses a number of the issues raised and left unresolved by this federal policy of encouraging the …

Con Edison: The Crisis Of The Investor-Owned Utility, Charles A. Testagrossa, Jr., Dennis F. Tuffin
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Consolidated Edison of New York, Inc. (Con Edison) is an investor-owned urban utility which provides electricity to New York City and most of Westchester County. It is representative of the older investor-owned utilities which are currently in the poorest financial condition. Although these utilities do not serve rapidly expanding service areas, the replacement of obsolete generating plants necessitates continued large capital expenditures. Present conditions raise the possibility that older investor-owned utilities cannot survive in their present form of "regulated private monopoly." The failure of Con Edison to pay a quarterly dividend on April 23, 1974 focused attention on the deteriorating …
