Transportation is the #2 source of greenhouse gas emissions in New York City. We have the nation's most extensive subway system - and its slowest bus service. How can we rescue our ailing public transit system, entice people out of their cars, and get where we need to go in a climate friendly way? 

Speakers:

Vanessa Barrios of the Regional Plan Association

Allison Considine of the Sierra Club

Renae Reynolds of the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance (NYC-EJA)

Moderator:
