[New York News\MTA]
Afua Atta-Mensah, Executive Director of Community Voices Heard: “The crackdown on low-income communities of color trying to access public transit must end. We cannot stand by as the MTA and the NYPD continue to criminalize poverty and harass working-class people. We are proud to stand with organizations and individuals who are fighting back against this onslaught. Together, we are all working to build a city that is accessible and affordable for all New Yorkers.”

TRANSIT ADVOCATES TO GOVERNOR CUOMO: MORE MONEY IS NEED TO UPGRADE NYC BUS LINES

by

[Transit News\ NYC Bus Redesign Program]
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.”

New York News\Bronx]
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.”
