Featured Artcles

Opinion: Transit Riders Won Congestion Pricing. We Deserve To See It Happen

"With years of work, riders pried congestion pricing from a recalcitrant Albany. We intend to see the program fully and fairly rolled out next year. When congestion pricing is implemented, drivers will pay their equitable share to access the most heavily trafficked and transit adjacent neighborhoods in the United States."
Opinion: We Need a Real Penn Station Plan, Not a Neighborhood Replacement Scheme

"Our leaders seem blithely unaware that we have within our grasp a once-in-a-century opportunity to create a transit hub worthy of New York, which many of us still think of as 'the greatest city on Earth.'"
Opinion: The Penn Station Plan is a Job Well Done. It’s Time We Acknowledge That

"The one thing that unites all New Yorkers is our collective disdain for the derelict old Penn Station. That’s why it makes no sense why some would come out against a plan to actually make it and the surrounding district better."
Opinion: How E-bikes Can Help NYC Reach its Climate Goals

"To get the most out of its vital investments in protected bike lanes, the city should pull every lever at its disposal to increase access to personal and shared e-bikes."
NY Air Quality is Improving, But City’s Emissions Goals Are Still Far Off

By 2050, the city’s annual greenhouse gas emissions should be no higher than 12 million metric tons of carbon dioxide—in 2020, buildings alone accounted for 34 million metric tons. “It kind of paints a very stark picture of how much work we have to do and how it can't just be business as usual."
Opinion: Hyper-Policing is the Wrong Response to Brooklyn Subway Attack

"The tragedy occurred despite the massive resources poured into NYPD and the continued expansion of its law enforcement powers."
Targeted Attacks on Unsheltered New Yorkers Highlight Dangers of Homelessness

The shootings occurred amid a crackdown on New Yorkers sleeping on the subways, and reflected a recent spike in the number of homeless New Yorkers slain by assailants.
Opinion: Epidemic of Deadly Automobile Violence on NYC Streets Dwarfs Rising Subway Crime

“Automobile crashes killed 273 people in 2021, a whopping 33 percent increase over 2018, the safest year in New York City’s recent traffic history…It’s a mystery as to why so many city residents, as well as city and state politicians, seemingly accept such a heartbreaking level of carnage as just another unfortunate trade-off of city life.”
