Thanks to @vanshnook and Transit Talk NYC for helping us with our proposals. Please give this a read, as we have created a new proposal for a better 7 train extension and a better Northeastern Queens transit system.

The USDOT is awarding QueensLink $400k as part of the Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program! 🥳🥳🥳 We intend to use this funding to perform a study to measure the social, environmental, economic, and equitable impacts of #RailsandTrails on the Rockaway Beach Branch! 🚉🌳

"Queens Borough President, Donovan Richards, tried to get the two groups to work together on the project—but the QueensWay supporters refused to even consider incorporating rail into their vision."
Understand why we are fighting for all of Queens.

NEW:
As the QueensWay gets federal funding, rail advocates are fuming that New York's leaders are passing on a rare, once-in-a-generation opportunity to add desperately needed transit in Queens—all so a park can have another park in it.

This is huge! 🎉
After years, federal approval is moving ahead for NY's congestion pricing plan - an essential piece of delivering the frequent, reliable, and accessible service that transit riders deserve.
@GovKathyHochul and @MTA, let's make it happen! #CongestionPricingNOW

Major win for riders! We're so proud to see these service improvements materialize knowing that it is the direct product of riders organizing for better transit. #6MinuteService

If you want to challenge our viewpoints, please don't write that "You deserve a smack for compelling me to respond."
Also, a common misconception is that the NYC Subway was built/funded by private funds. That is not true, as in Dual Contracts No. 1-4, the subways were built by the city and leased out to the IRT and BMT. This includes the original "Z" system, and all of the various branches.
At Tech Transit, we are very proud to announce our latest video, The Short List! It is a list of notable subway expansion projects.

The Transit Costs Project has released its New York Case Study and Final Report. We're excited to see actionable goals that the NY region can take to deliver 10x more transit expansion with existing capital dollars. 🧵

All of this shows that @QueensWayNYC is an astroturfed plan aimed to obstruct real transit progress in Queens. If you told any NY commuter that there is a train line coming, of course they will support it because better transit is the one thing that most NYers support.

Come to our event on Feb 4th from 1-4pm in honor of Transit Equity Day!! Learn about how QueensLink can help create better transit and infrastructure for the residents of Queens! We'll also have fun stickers to give out! #BuildtheQueensLink #RailsandTrails #QueensLink
We do the Lines That Never Were series to emphasize one point: NYC used to be able to build new train lines. Now, in a time when Queens desperately needs a transit revolution (like the 7 Train Project and @thequeenslink, we get this response, showing how backwards we came from.
