Featured Artcles

Opinion: We Need E-Bike Incentives, Not Bans

"We join many other New Yorkers, including Los Deliveristas, a social justice group that represents the estimated 65,000 delivery workers, and call on the city to find alternatives to a ban that protects NYCHA residents from fire hazards without impacting transportation access or imperiling the growth of this affordable and sustainable mobility option."
Opinion: Gateway Must Become ‘Freightway’ to Reduce Congestion and Meet Our Climate Goals

"Instead of continuing to overburden already disadvantaged communities, we can bring freight rail through Gateway to a new distribution hub at Moynihan/Penn Station, which is already equipped with loading bays from its previous use as a postal facility."
Outsourced NYC Trash is Causing a ‘Never-Ending Odor Event’ Upstate, Lawsuit Alleges

Residents in upstate New York are putting a new statewide constitutional right to its first test in two lawsuits filed this spring, alleging that a landfill receiving garbage from the city is disrupting their right to clean air and a healthful environment.
Opinion: Who Gets to Enjoy NYC’s Open Streets?

"This program was a lifeline for New York City during the pandemic, and now it needs more resources and structural support to reach its full potential."
Opinion: MTA’s Congestion Pricing Plan Must Protect the Livelihood of For-Hire Drivers

"For-hire driving in New York City has historically provided good-paying work and a path to the middle class for a vast minority immigrant worker base. Over the last decade, that work has slowly been chipped away despite the need for rides remaining high."
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."
