GREAT news for NYers — thanks to funding from #CongestionPricing, we'll see increased service to the A and L lines on weekdays. That means less waiting and more reliability in your daily travels!
The MTA is upping service on two of New York City's busiest subway lines 10 months after it started collecting congestion pricing tolls, which promised to pay for improvements.

More service, less waiting. Starting today, the @MTA is adding more weekday trains on the A and L lines — reducing wait times for over 100,000 riders. Because when we invest in transit, we invest in New Yorkers.

Only 37% of the estimated 1.4 million eligible New Yorkers are enrolled in the city's low-income reduced transit fare program, and the current income requirements exclude those who work full time for minimum wage. Read more:

New York City has the slowest buses in the nation. Automated camera enforcement (ACE) is a key tool to speed them up: "Routes that use ACE have seen bus speeds increased by 5%, with some corridors experiencing a travel time jump as high as 30%" - @amNewYork

Investment in our region's commuter rail is a huge boon. It's not only good for commuters — it's an investment in communities across the state and the region. Great op-ed from @PCACriders' Lisa Daglian in @CrainsNewYork this week: https://t.co/VPSS8QmTSJ

Modern signals mean frequent, reliable service for subway riders — but it'll take time, effort, and good communication to make it happen. Great quotes from @PCACriders @DannyInTransit in this @CrainsNewYork piece on subway signals: https://t.co/kRyD2OMzwE

Millions of people are being left behind due to car-centric policies in the United States.
