Issue Position: Fix the MTA

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Transportation Infrastructure

Our subways and buses must run on time. A lifelong straphanger, Jessica lives this MTA crisis along with all of us. The State controls the MTA budget and policies, and we need a strong voice like Jessica's in Albany to fight for a subway system that actually works. Jessica will push the MTA to be more transparent in their spending, and advocate for elevators in every station to allow senior citizens, people with disabilities, and parents with strollers easy access to the platform. Flashy countdown clocks don't solve problems--real State funding and systemic repairs do.

"Last summer I was stuck on the 7 train for two hours. One woman sobbed because her hourly pay would be docked and she was counting on that money. Another woman broke down crying--it was her first day at a new job, and she would be hours late."
