Want a Faster, More Reliable Commute?

Target: New York Traffic Commission
Sponsored by: Campaign for New York's Future
Think your commute is bad now? Add a million more people to the equation and we might have a transportation meltdown! We need a plan that will keep New York City moving, make public transportation faster and more reliable, cut traffic and reduce air pollution and global warming emissions. And now we have that plan: a modified congestion pricing program.

Tell your state legislators to pass congestion pricing and reduce traffic, cut commute times, and fund public transportation across all neighborhoods.
deadline: 1-9-2009

Dear Legislator,

I am writing to thank you for creating the Traffic Congestion Mitigation Commission last summer. I urge you to adopt the congestion pricing plan that the commission is recommending after months of study, community hearings and deliberation. New York City needs this congestion pricing plan in order to improve commutes today and make the city ready for the expected one million new residents moving here in the next 25 years.

This is a plan that:

* Achieves real traffic reductions - reductions at least as great as the Mayor's initial congestion pricing proposal

* Raises $474 million per year to improve the public transit system most New Yorkers, especially lower income New Yorkers, depend on

I think that driving should be discouraged in the city and subway commuting should be improved.

This issue concerns me greatly. I moved to NYC 28 years ago for the very reason that public transportation was available and I could minimze my contribution to worldwide pollution. Let us make us proud to be New Yorkers.
