Thanks to the @nyfte.bsky.social coalition members for coming to the Reconnect Rochester offices to discuss our strategy to balance transit funding to include public transit statewide.

A group of smiling people around a screen that reads: "Draft Vision Statement: We organize towards a vision of a transportation network for everyone in New York State that is accessible, dependable, and sustainable. Our work is led by people who are Black + Brown, low-income, immigrant, youth, senior, and people with disabilities. By building a network of walkers, riders, and drivers, NYFTE aims to meaningfully connect New Yorkers across transit routes, regions, and social class.

“This transportation plan doesn't give us the safe and affordable options we need. Instead, it's an ‘everything-bagel’ approach that includes the highway widenings that are squandering billions of dollars and dividing our communities.” — @dannyintransit.bsky.social gothamist.com/news/fewer-c...

More highways? In this economy? Our bill aims to "benefit small municipalities to meet their climate and transit goals, bolstering communities that are near-impossible to traverse without a car." www.timesunion.com/state/articl...

Bill aims to curb car mileage amid ‘freeway (funding) fights’

Albany advocates have long angled for an overhaul of Interstate 787, which separates much of the city from the Hudson River waterfront.
