[Final MTA Bronx Bus Redesign\Riders Alliance]
Riders Alliance’s Burgos-Veras: “As the redesign rolls out, the MTA should work closely with Mayor de Blasio and the DOT to implement the City’s planned bus lanes and other street priority treatments for major Bronx corridors by the end of this year.”

Riders Alliance member Latchmi Gopal: “We are happy that the MTA is redesigning all the routes, but in order for the MTA’s redesign to make a difference, we need to see Governor Cuomo commit the necessary funds to make this effort successful and reflective of the needs of the community. This kind of grand investment in our transit systems happens once every 50 years but it only works if the governor puts state money where his mouth is. Too often, the already marginalized members of this city aren’t treated fairly or given necessary public services. It is especially pertinent to invest in better transit for Black and Brown Communities.”

Riders Alliance Campaign Manager Stephanie Burgos-Veras: “Governor Cuomo needs to raise the stakes, think bigger, and act bolder. There’s a lot more than a new bus map riding on the Bronx redesign. Bigger network changes in Queens and Brooklyn are soon to come. And with congestion pricing on the horizon, riders need the governor’s strong leadership to make major improvements to Bronx buses now.”
