The New Yorkers for Transportation Equity campaign seeks to reduce total vehicle miles traveled by 20% in New York State to meet climate goals by 2050.
The Get Around NY Act mandates that all highway expansion projects undergo a 'vehicle miles traveled assessment' to ensure alignment with goals of reducing car travel.
Executive Director Danny Pearlstein criticized New York's DOT for mismanagement, stating, 'It means that we waste billions of dollars on ludicrous projects like the Van Wyck expansion.'
This new campaign seeks legislative support to shift planning priorities and make necessary investments in sustainable public transit and transportation infrastructure.
