""Our outdated and arbitrary funding formula artificially preserves sprawl and hangs public transit and its riders out to dry... A fair funding formula would ensure that our transit systems are fast, accessible, and affordable.""
""Nearly four million people use our subway on an average weekday. Brad will fight like hell for the funding that the city's transit system deserves.""
The federal government currently allocates 80% of surface transportation funds to highways and only 20% to transit. Brad Lander proposes a 50-50 split to enhance transit funding. He aims to lift restrictions on using transit dollars for operations, arguing that the current funding formula promotes sprawl and neglects public transit. New York City, which serves half of the nation's transit users, receives only 15% of federal transit funding. Lander's campaign emphasizes the need for fair funding to improve the city's transit system.
