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

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. 🧵

NEW: @MTA to open #GrandCentral Madison — on WEDS 1/25 — with what they’re calling “Grand Central Direct” shuttle trains bet Jamaica and Grand Central. @NBCNewYork has learned it’ll be hourly rush hour service. Full “East Side Access” service at least 3 wks later. #NBC4NY

The MTA projects almost 90k daily riders on the IBX. Seattle Line 1 has 80k riders and needs 4-car monster trains to handle ridership. How is this better than a higher capacity regional rail line?

Expanding the Van Wyck Expy is not helping climate change. Building more mass transit will. #buildthequeenslink
Drought, superstorms, floods and wildfires are destroying communities across the US and the world. @GovKathyHochul NY must take the lead for a livable planet. #climatecantwait Follow us!

Notice anything different? (Make sure your sound is on!) The MTA has installed continuously-welded rail on the express track between Hewes Street and Flushing Avenue as a test for how welded rail interacts with the old steel els. It's noticably quieter.

Debates about the boundaries (or even the existence) of hundreds of New York City neighborhoods are as old as the city itself. We’re trying to create a reader-sourced map of where these boundaries are now. nyti.ms/3uodfz7

One of the biggest myths about city building is that it's inherently more expensive to create beautiful/lovely places. It's not.
Most places we love are rather inexpensive to build. But since there's a scarcity of high quality places, & a high demand to live there, prices go up.
