Transportation Alternatives Statement Congratulating Gov. Hochul on Election Victory

NEW YORK — In response to Governor Kathy Hochul’s projected victory in the New York gubernatorial election, Transportation Alternatives released the following statement:

Statement from Transportation Alternatives Executive Director Danny Harris:

“On behalf of Transportation Alternatives we congratulate Governor Kathy Hochul on her victory in the governor’s race. With rising levels of traffic violence, the threat of climate change, challenges to our public transit system, and record congestion in New York City, we need a governor who will take action to address these intersecting challenges.

In her first year as governor, Gov. Hochul has been a leader on safe streets. From committing to implementing congestion pricing to expanding the use of life-saving speed safety cameras to authorizing municipalities across the state to set lower speed limits, Gov. Hochul has taken action that will save lives. We look forward to continuing to work with the governor and state legislature to make our streets safe, livable, and equitable for all New Yorkers.”
