Transportation Justice

We live in a transit desert that makes it tremendously difficult for Assembly District 31 residents to go to work and school — as an advocate and activist, and now as an Assembly Member, addressing long-standing transit inequities has been a major priority. As the state opened COVID-19 vaccination sites, I collaborated with the Executive Office and the MTA to create the Q-52 bus service from our communities directly to the site. With John F. Kennedy Airport, one of the biggest transportation and economic hubs in the country, right here in Assembly District 31, I have been at the forefront of discussions to ensure that our neighbors have access to employment opportunities and economic expansion in and around the JFK Gateway area. I am proud of all that my colleagues and I have achieved in this space and know that our work here is only beginning.
