'Mobility is critical to the economic prosperity and productivity of the city.'
Safety, improved connectivity, and greater reliability will all be key, whether addressing mass transit, private vehicles, bikes, walking, or ferries. Patterns of life and work are rapidly changing, and the approach to local mobility that has served the city well for more than a hundred years will not suffice going forward.
Commuters are not going to be satisfied unless transit services are safe, reliable, comfortable, and efficient. And for the growing population of older New Yorkers – transit must be more accessible. The most dramatic change in city mobility patterns during the pandemic has been the surge in biking, including pedal-assist electric bikes that extend this option to riders with physical limitations. By some measures, Citi Bike is now the 25th biggest public transit system in the country and the largest bike share program outside of Asia. To take full advantage of cycling as a preferred way to navigate the city, bike lanes must be extended with adequate protections for cyclists and pedestrians.
