The Alexandria City School Board voiced significant concerns Thursday about a city proposal to transition high school students from school buses to public transit.
On transportation, he says he’ll fight for more funding of both Metro and the commuter rail service, Virginia Railway Express (VRE), both of which are used by many 11th District residents to get to work.
The legislation seeks to encourage cities to improve bus access and enhance commutes by creating grant programs that support bus system redesigns and increased ridership.
Gov. Kathy Hochul said Wednesday that this summer was the safest in the New York City subway in at least 15 years, even as federal officials have painted the transit system as dangerous and crime-ridden.
With properfunding and thoughtful urban planning, public transportation can offer timely, affordable and dignified mobility to a great number of people.
