"The IBX, formally called the Interborough Express, is poised to transform travel between the two outer boroughs, connecting nearly a million residents along the route."
"The planned light rail will translate to roughly 21.8 million fewer vehicle miles traveled in passenger cars each year, resulting in a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions."
"MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber emphasized the need for a better, faster, and more climate-friendly way to travel between Brooklyn and Queens, especially for those relying on private cars."
"The public meetings aim to raise awareness about the environmental benefits and provide New Yorkers a chance to share their thoughts about the project."
The MTA announced public engagement for the IBX light rail, the largest transit expansion in over 50 years. Six meetings will occur in Brooklyn and Queens, allowing residents to share feedback. The IBX will connect nearly a million residents, reducing reliance on private vehicles and translating to 21.8 million fewer vehicle miles annually. This will lead to a significant decrease in greenhouse gas emissions. The public workshops aim to raise awareness of the project's environmental benefits and gather community input.
