Tri-State Transportation Campaign

😮‍💨 Diesel truck traffic from NYC’s exploding warehouse industry is putting enormous strain on community health! Our billboard campaign is calling out the harms of truck pollution from mega-warehouses.

Traffic congestion grew this year in U.S. cities, but NYC saw no increase Baltimore and Philadelphia saw the largest increases in traffic delays. Congestion pricing may have helped keep New York City traffic in check.

BREAKING: traffic is getting worse around the country — but not in NYC.

Why? Because the congestion relief program is working.

Thanksgiving is over but we're still thankful for less traffic! 🍗🍽️🍂

🎁 While mega e-commerce warehouses are delivering more packages, they’re wrapping our neighborhoods with clouds of pollution. Let’s make sure that clean air is on everyone’s wishlist and hold big corporations accountable! #CleanDeliveries

Thank you NJ Transit for saving critical bus service and we look forward to the frequency improvements. We need better connections north-south across Bayonne and Jersey City.

19.5 million fewer vehicles have entered NYC since congestion relief was implemented … But who’s counting?

(we are)

Congratulations to Queens activist Corey Hannigan!

Her Son Was Run Over on His Way to Soccer Practice. Now Part of a ‘Horrible Club,’ Mom Fights to Spare Others The number of pedestrians being hit or run over in the U.S. has increased at an alarming rate. Amy Cohen and others want to end the heartache

"We don’t want sympathy,” said Amy Cohen, co-founder of Families for Safe Streets. “We want action."

World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims in the U.S. Advocating safer roads through speed limits, road design, and vehicle enhancements.

I am so very sorry.
I will be at the World Day of Remembrance in NYC on Sunday and will hold up a flower for Seamus. wdor-usa.org

This shows that advocacy works! Organizing public transit riders to demand better service is a key factor in this progress. This is after an 18 month campaign, we're just getting started LFG!!!!

Op-ed: The Bronx should be the biggest benefiters of congestion pricing. We can’t stop that progress now. – Bronx Times That’s why when New York City implemented its congestion relief program — and we see that a new stream of revenue to improve NYC is possible — we need Bronx

The Bronx has long borne the brunt of pollution and heavy truck traffic. Now it’s time for the borough to reap the rewards of congestion relief.

🚨NJ is building a 1st in the nation plan to end deadly crashes by 2040!

Whether you walk, bike, drive, or take transit, tell the Target Zero Commission what safety means for your neighborhood.

✔️ Public comment welcome (arrive early!)
✔️ Or email written comments: targetzerocommission@dot.nj.gov

🚨 Victory! This week with our Stop the Cross Bronx Expansion coalition partners, we flipped the script on the plan to build an elevated roadway over the Bronx River. 💪

Highway expansion fuels traffic & pollution, harming people's health. The work isn’t over; we must move beyond this legacy of harm!

Nine months in … now October in NYC means a light jacket and even lighter traffic.

Less traffic means smoother commutes in NYC—even for car-owners. With congestion relief, driving in NYC means thriving in NYC.

🚶🏽‍♀️🏢 This week in Red Hook, we walked streets dominated by mega-warehouses + trucks, where ~10k NYCHA residents live + play amid diesel fumes.

Warehouses 👏 Need to 👏 Be 👏 Better 👏 Neighbors and operate with regulation. NY must adopt the #CleanDeliveriesAct to protect communities + reduce pollution.

🚚⚡NY’s e-commerce boom shouldn’t come at the cost of our health. Diesel truck traffic from mega warehouses is choking frontline communities!

With federal rollbacks on climate protections, AM Mitaynes and @sengianaris.bsky.social joined advocates today to relaunch the #CleanDeliveriesAct.

🚲 What a kickoff! On Sunday, we launched our Protected Ride Sunnyside campaign with an 8-mile ride, spotlighting existing bike lanes and the dangerous gaps that leave riders unprotected.

Big thanks to @claireforqueens.bsky.social, @tstc.bsky.social, the Queens Borough President's office, and CB2!

@tstc.bsky.social has done so much to raise the profile of NJ Transit funding in Trenton these past few years.

@hudcostreets.org has turned PATH reliability and service levels into a third rail of Hudson County politics, which in turn has caught the attention of Mikie Sherrill.

Advocacy works!

Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens are coming together! We’re urging Governor Hochul and DOT to suspend harmful projects that widen the Brooklyn-Queens and Cross Bronx Expressways. Help us advocate for safe and sustainable alternatives that protect communities and the environment. See you there!

Congestion pricing made us stay in NYC Not long ago, my family was seriously considering leaving New York City. We live in Jackson Heights, where our son attends a great local school and we’re surrounded by the kind of energy and divers…

The Congestion Relief Program isn’t just transforming Manhattan from 60th street and below. It’s changing our entire city for the better.

Just take it from Roger, a Queens parent who almost moved his family out of NYC if not for the safer streets this program has delivered.

From Gridlock to Greenlight: The Secret Behind New York’s Congestion Pricing Success New York’s congestion pricing program is up, running, and working. But how did it get passed in the first place? What can advocates do to protect this climate and public health progress? And what can ...

Big city + cars ≠ gridlock, all thanks to congestion relief.

Renae Reynolds from @tstc.bsky.social illustrates how it happened: a diverse coalition of leaders in labor, policy, transportation, and public health.

Although Amazon & other major corporations attract customers with summer deals, for the 1 in 4 NYers who live within a half-mile of an e-commerce warehouse, the additional daily truck trips and pollution are hardly something to celebrate. #CleanDeliveries
