Where to Next? Fossil-Free Transportation in a Pandemic and Beyond
Climate Wednesdays
climate and the environment
lectures and discussions
Virtual Programming
Transportation is the #2 source of greenhouse gas emissions in New York City. We have the nation's most extensive subway system and the slowest bus service. With the Covid-19 pandemic comes a new set of mass transit woes. But bicycling is surging, and a whole slew of New Yorkers are avoiding the commute altogether as they check into work via Zoom. How can we get our troubled public transit system back on track and headed where we need to go in a climate-friendly way?
Speakers:
Allison Considine, transportation organizer for the Sierra Club
Dulcie Canton, Brooklyn Biking Coordinator for Transportation Alternatives
Renae Reynolds, Transportation Planner for NYC Environmental Justice Alliance
Vanessa Barrios, Senior Associate for State Programs and Advocacy at the Regional Plan Association
Moderator: journalist Emily Nonko
