<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Stuy Town resident and Congressional candidate Peter Harrison announced his campaign to make public transit free and increase accessibility throughout the system on Tuesday morning at the corner of First Avenue and East 14th Street. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Harrison’s proposal, the “Freedom of Movement in America Plan,” calls on the federal government to spend $1.7 trillion on public transportation over the next 10 years. One component of the plan is to make transit completely fare-free and provide $17 billion in federal funding to cover fare revenue, in addition to providing $9 billion in funding for paratransit in order to achieve 100% accessibility for public transit. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Another aspect of the proposal would fund the Federal Railroad Administration in order to invest $150 billion in Amtrak, $150 billion into the development of high-speed rail and update rolling stock to decarbonized, emission-free systems within 12 years at a cost of $500 million a year.</blockquote>

I’m running to protect the 72% of residents who are home renters through the Homes Guarantee, to pass fare-free transit as part of a Green New Deal for Cities, and to fight for a four day work week for all working families in the New Economy of Care.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
All budgets are a statement of priorities. Here are several other ways the MTA could reorder its priorities:<br /><ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Put a halt to boondoggles like the Second Avenue subway project, which cost a princely sum but are of little use to most commuters. Building the new Second Avenue line from 63rd Street to 96th Street cost more than $4 billion. A planned extension to 125th Street by 2029 is projected to cost $6 billion — and the digging hasn’t even begun.</li>
<li>Expand dedicated bus lanes, for a fraction of the cost of building new underground lines. This will make it easier to connect people across the outer boroughs, where a lack of mass-transit options is a chronic problem.</li>
<li>Ensure that spending on vitally important capital programs such as updating the subway system’s archaic signal system, doesn’t spiral out of control.</li>
<li>Scrap Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s plan to hire an additional 500 subway police officers at a cost of more than a billion dollars over the next 10 years, according to the conservative Empire Center. That’s a lot of dough to spend on an affirmative action program for bullies.</li>
</ul>
