Our transit system is
in full blown crisis.
We need congestion
pricing to help Brooklyn.
What are the benefits of
congestion pricing?
Congestion pricing reduces traffic, cuts air pollution, and increases
funding for public transportation. The plan is to charge vehicles
entering Manhattan below 60th Street at certain times, and use
the revenue for transit improvements across NYC.
Here's what's at stake:
More reliable train service on the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, G, L, N, Q and R
180 subway stations fully ADA accessible with elevators,
including Bedford and Greenpoint Ave stations
New intercoms so customers can speak directly to transit
employees
Up to 1.5 hours a week in time saved for express bus riders
More than 3,000 new subway cars on the tracks
