We understand what matters to you.

SafetyWe are #1 in advocating for safety in our mass transit. We have consistently been calling for more police and social workers protecting and supporting everyday commuters in the subway system. We also educate the public on how to stay safe on the subway and tackle any emergency that may arise. Whenever there's an incident anywhere, you can count on us to be there!

EquityEveryone should have access to frequent, affordable and reliable transportation. But efforts to improve public transit still leave out the needs of disadvantaged communities and vulnerable populations, especially those that lack proper representation by their transit agencies (e.g. MTA) and elected officials. We strive to bridge this gap by elevating their voices to ensure they are properly heard and represented in the decisions that affect them.
|
AccessibilityIt is imperative that everyone is able to get where they need to go, no matter where they live or their mobility needs. In addition to advocating for more abundant and reliable infrastructure (elevators, ramps, etc.), we emphasize that accessibility goes beyond that and must be centered in the designs of transit systems themselves. For instance, if bus stops are removed to speed up the buses, the longer walks for those with mobility issues may be problematic.
|
SustainabilityFor our transportation to be sustainable, it must serve and benefit everyone fairly. We support the Federal Government's Justice40 initiative and the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and are committed to making progress in these essential goals, as they apply to transit riders in our communities (you!).
