This program is important because it makes the ferry system permanently affordable and accessible for students. The partnership with students at Harbor School was key to getting the law passed.
Students expressed their need for a discounted ticket due to the inability to access the school directly from their home ferry landings, adding unnecessary time to their commutes.
Our ferry system creates vital connections for New Yorkers across the city and we have to make sure that opportunity is available to students, especially when time can be added back into their studies.
This program is not only about the students, but their families, as it alleviates commuting costs and allows for better access to education and activities.
