Call your Senators and make sure they support the Moving Transit Forward Act! This will provide much needed federal funding to improve and expand public transit across the country. Thank you @SenGillibrand for reintroducing this bill!

The bill creates a permanent funding program for large transit agencies’ operating expenses.

Happy to see people clearing bus stops and sidewalks this morning! Remember that the city provides supplemental snow clearing service but it is the responsibility of the property owner to keep sidewalks in front of their property clear.
