New Yorkers for Transportation Equity

Fewer cars or expanded highways? A battle for New York's future on the road Two different visions are competing as the state works on an important draft planning document.

“This transportation plan doesn't give us the safe and affordable options we need. Instead, it's an ‘everything-bagel’ approach that includes the highway widenings that are squandering billions of dollars and dividing our communities.” — @dannyintransit.bsky.social

Bill aims to curb car mileage amid ‘freeway (funding) fights’ Albany advocates have long angled for an overhaul of Interstate 787, which separates much of the city from the Hudson River waterfront.

More highways? In this economy? Our bill aims to "benefit small municipalities to meet their climate and transit goals, bolstering communities that are near-impossible to traverse without a car."
