Issue Position: Transit

Issue Position

New York's transit system is in crisis, and with the impending L shutdown, North Brooklyn will bear the brunt. Like everyone who depends on the subway to get to work every day, I've seen delays increase even as fares rise every year. The damage done by years of mismanagement in Albany can't be fixed overnight--but we need to start now. As State Senator I will fight to:
Fully fund the MTA capital program so we can not only stabilize the system but expand service.
Implement a fare freeze so working-class straphangers don't have to pay more to get to work every year
Ensure that every North Brooklyn resident has ready access to public transit during the months-long L train shutdown
Make every subway stations accessible for elderly and disabled riders, so that all of us can get around
