This wouldn't have happened without the tireless work of advocates like @UPSTANDMovement. So exciting to see that push turn into action.
Baby on board: MTA to make room for strollers on all NYC buses

“Christine Serdjenian Yearwood, a mother of three who founded UP-STAND…said the program’s systemwide expansion is a sign of how much effort parents, bus operators and advocates for people with disabilities put into making it work.”

There is nothing more important than keeping New Yorkers safe, and reining in super speeders will save lives.
I am proud to support efforts in Albany to enable new tools like Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) in our fight for safe streets.
“A small but reckless group of recidivist speeders poses a grave threat to the health and safety of everyone. That is why we, and Mayor Mamdani, support Intelligent Speed Assistance to rein in super speeders and save lives.”

Out there today!
Hundreds of us are out today talking to riders at 23 subway stations across the city where accessible elevators were scrapped due to @GovKathyHochul’s disastrous congestion pricing pause!
We needed these elevators YESTERDAY. Governor hear our demand, #congestionpricingnow!

Hochul's congestion pricing pause has paused crucial subway upgrades including elevators & accessibility at 23 stations.
We're canvassing these stations to talk to riders about what we've lost (& how to fight back!). Join us Sun. 9/8, 10:30am-noon.

Back when @UPSTANDMovement was founded, MTA told me to “get in line” when I advocated for family fares as a necessary discount. Now, a huge step forward by @MTA toward making NYC more affordable and livable for families with school-age children. 24/7, 365!
T-A-P T-O G-O 🎶 NYC students, we’ve got exciting news: Student OMNY Cards are coming this school year!
With the new Student OMNY Card, you’ll get four free rides a day, all year long! That means more free rides than Student MetroCard—24/7/365, including weekends, summers, and holidays.
Keep it with you and tap for every trip!
