From the IBX to 60+ newly accessible @NYCTSubway stations, there's a lot on the line for @MTA riders in Albany this year.
Governor Hochul and the Legislature must agree to fully fund the MTA capital plan, delivering the transit system New Yorkers deserve and creating 72,000 jobs.

Subway and bus riders shouldn't need the luck of the Irish to afford their fare. 🍀🌈

New Yorkers got good news today from Judge Leo M. Gordon, who ruled that Congestion Pricing can start as scheduled on January 5th. The first-in-the-nation program will reduce traffic, improve air quality, and bring critical funding for essential transit infrastructure projects.

The ADA upgrades at 68st–Hunter College mark the last of 100 🔑 stations identified when the ADA was signed.
This milestone, which came in $21 million under budget, would not have been possible without @schumer.senate.gov and @repjerrynadler.bsky.social who delivered $140 million in federal funds.
