On the PATH, #5 busiest metro in America, weekend ridership is above pre-pandemic levels -- but weekend service has been cut, while rush hour service increased. It makes no sense!! The overcrowding on weekends for 20-minute (!!!) service is unbearable.

At the NJ Bike Walk summit today, great to hear NJ DOT commissioner Fran O'Connor commit to 1) revisiting the $11B Turnpike widening into Jersey City in light of the overwhelming community opposition, and 2) commitment to zero road deaths by 2040. Bravo 👏

Another great day signing up people to our petition for better PATH service on weekends! @eleanalittle.bsky.social 20-minute waits between trains at Exchange Place are agonizing, especially when it's not synchronized with the HBLRT schedule.

Incredible turnout this morning to the Liberty State Park Open House! This project is so vital to the health and natural environment of Jersey City and Northeast NJ. We have to get it right, and the plans so far look excellent. 🙏

Infrastructure alone won't stop a drunk driver from jumping a curb and crashing through a house.

With congestion pricing now live, a poignant reminder that driving into lower Manhattan is completely missing the point of New York.

Last week I joined @eaconner.bsky.social, @talyaschwartz.bsky.social, Stephanie Martinez and other transit advocates from
@hudcostreets.org at the Port Authority 2025 budget hearings to advocate for improved PATH train service - trains every 5 minutes, and an extension to Newark Airport!

For my first post, I'm sharing an image that deeply inspires me: the final image taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft as it left our solar system. Earth is the tiny blue dot in the lower-right. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Bl...

We have just one Earth. We must do everything in our power to protect it.
