Transportation Alternatives’ mission is to reclaim New York City's streets from the automobile and to advocate for better bicycling, walking, and public transit for all New Yorkers. Streets and sidewalks are 80% of our public space in New York City – but right now, our lives are polluted, congested, and endangered by car and truck traffic. Transportation Alternatives believes that this public space belongs to the people of New York City, and we are working with New Yorkers in every borough to reclaim our streets.

Yesterday, we gathered in Flushing for World Day of Remembrance at the site where 3-year-old Allison Liao was tragically killed by a reckless driver. Her memory fuels our fight for safer streets. Allison’s story is just one of many that shows why it’s so important for our leaders to take action now. The pain of losing a loved one to reckless driving shouldn’t be something any family has to endure. We demand Albany take immediate action to prevent further tragedies: ? Pass the ISA for Repeat Speeders bill to hold dangerous drivers accountable. ? Sign the Grieving Families Act to ensure families affected by traffic violence can seek justice. We need stronger laws and better protections for our communities. Enough is enough — lives are on the line.
Congestion pricing will bring safer streets, cleaner air, faster buses, and billions in funding for public transportation. It’s essential to New York City’s future – and we can’t wait any longer to start this program. Make no mistake: this announcement is happening because a broad, diverse, and determined coalition of New Yorkers turned up, spoke out, and fought for congestion pricing. We’re here today because people made countless phone calls to the governor and their legislators, protested for months, testified at MTA board meetings, organized their communities, and never gave up. The landscape of this city will be forever changed for the better because of these tireless New Yorkers and we owe them all a debt of gratitude. We will push for congestion pricing to be implemented effectively and in a way that makes walking, driving, biking, taking the bus, and riding the subway work better. We won’t stop fighting for a New York City where every child can breathe clean air, every grandmother can safely cross the street, and every ambulance can quickly and efficiently reach the hospital.
