Great question! If the current Mayor won't implement data-backed, common sense measures to speed up the nation's slowest buses after 3.5 years in office, maybe our next Mayor will?

The crisis is here. The time to update and fortify our infrastructure to meet the demands of our new normal was a decade ago. We need leaders to step up *now* with bold plans to cut emissions and protect New Yorkers from extreme heat, rising tides, and flooded subways.

When Corey Johnson proposed a city takeover of public transit, the disgraced former governor sneered: "He just became speaker. Now he wants to be train conductor?" Now Andrew, who heaps scorn on our subway and millions of riders, wants to be train conductor? Please spare us

Everyone deserves a safe, affordable and reliable commute but some see political gain in lying about successful policies and exploiting our fears. Millions of riders will always stand up for the basic public services we need and deserve and for our way of life in New York City.

The *experience* candidate, who held high office back when dinosaurs roamed the earth (Turns out they still do! Who knew?) just dropped the most naive, pie in the sky, born-yesterday proposal of the entire campaign

When riders organize, we win real improvements that save time and money Congestion pricing and new MTA capital funding in this year's state budget mean more New Yorkers, commuters and visitors will soon have access to the most affordable and efficient way to get around our city

Big news for Brooklyn commuters! The MTA Capital Plan includes elevators at 3⃣ more stations in our district (Franklin Ave-Medgar Evers, Grand Army Plaza and Botanic Garden). Congestion pricing revenue is making these investments possible- while reducing traffic + pollution!

πŸš¨πŸ›—πŸš‰More wins for our district! It took a few years, but we finally got 2 elevators for Rego Park & Elmhurst subway stops. Only 21/81 Queens’ stations are accessible. 136/472 in NYC. Today is a big step towards making ALL our stations accessible to all. qns.com/2022/03/schume…
