My name is Tiffany-Ann Taylor, and I am the Vice President for Transportation at Regional Plan Association (RPA). RPA is a 100-year-old civic, non-profit group focused on quality-of-life issues in the tri-state area.

Today’s announcements are another important step in providing riders more options to get around faster and safer. We hope these projects are just the start of NYC DOT implementing long-needed improvements that will result in real time savings for bus riders and safety for cyclists. Prioritizing bus riders during the first 100 days of the Mamdani administration is an important step towards transportation equity across the city.

As these plans advance and new ideas are added, they will give New Yorkers and visitors alike, more reliable ways to get around. We look forward to the City’s evaluation of results and impact here, as well as continued collaboration citywide.
