Dromm On The Issues: Mass Transit Funding
Our community benefits greatly from our various mass transit options. Studies have shown that the fastest and most effective way to reduce air pollution and dependence on foreign oil is to get more people out of cars and onto trains or buses. We need to prioritize mass transit funding.
NYC subways and buses require additional funding to maintain, improve, and expand services. Even with more and more people using public transportation, raising MTA fares will only hurt riders and will not help to sustain the system. We need to purchase additional subway cars, faster trains, and more reliable buses.
As your City Council representative, I will research and investigate all options in the pursuit of new funding for subways and buses. Mass Transit is a critical part of what makes our city great and, in particular, what makes our community an excellent place to live. I know that we can find a fair and reasonable way to find more funding for our buses and subways.
