On Wednesday, the MTA’s chairman and CEO said the city has yet to meet at commitments on bus lane infrastructure improvements.
The Transportation Department aims to ease congestion and make it easier for drivers to find parking spots through demand-based pricing.
Felicia Park-Rogers, the Director of Infrastructure Projects at the Tri-State Transportation Campaign explains the importance:As people move out of cars, it doesn't mean that they're no longer moving. They're still moving. And they need to get from point A to point B We want them to do that safely and expeditiously. So, their bus needs to move more than four miles an hour so that they can run their errands, go to the store, see their friends, go to work, and stay out of the car.
However, just as the MTA says the city is behind with building infrastructure, the group Transportation Alternatives tellsthe city is way behind on installing bike lanes. 10.7 miles have been built so far this year, despite the City Council's legal mandate for 50 miles to be built this year. Experts and the MTA agree that the city's lack of progress on both bus and bike lanes threatens to lead drivers to choose to stay in their cars, which would defeat the purpose of congestion pricing.that I have read and agree
