Getting New Yorkers Moving
Subway delays have brought our city to a grinding halt. It hurts the working class, it hurts our economy, and we deserve better. I’m committed to fighting for proper funding for public transit, and to holding the MTA accountable for a making clear, transparent commitments for repairs, improvements, and timelines. Our streets and sidewalks should work for all of us, from pedestrians, to bikers, drivers, and those in public transit. By working with the Department of Transportation and the MTA, we can make a system that lets everyone get where they’re going on time, giving us all the security to know we can plan our lives without fear of missing a meeting, event, or interview.
Making Our System Accessible
28 years ago when we passed the Americans With Disabilities Act, we resoundingly affirmed the rights of those with disabilities to access all parts of our society. Our transit system should be accessible. Despite ample transit routes in our neighborhoods, ADA accessible subway entrances are few are far between, and buses struggle through congested streets to stay on schedule. I am working with advocates and activists to keep the pressure on to make sure that the MTA makes clear public commitments to improvements.
