The subway system is plagued by delays and unpredictable service. A recent study by Riders Alliance showed there was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/new-york\/ny-metro-mta-signal-report-20180914-story.html\">only one morning rush in August<\/a> without a major subway failure. In 2016, subway ridership dropped for the first time in years, and it fell again in 2017, even with a rising population in the city.<\/p>\n<p>With the subway falling short, buses aren\u2019t making up the difference. Bus ridership in the city <a href=\"https:\/\/nyc.streetsblog.org\/2018\/02\/08\/while-public-officials-dawdle-the-collapse-of-nyc-bus-ridership-accelerates\/\">fell 6 percent last year<\/a>, continuing a decade long trend of declining ridership and representing the largest annual percentage drop in 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s likely because transportation above ground is not any better than below. In addition to widely varying wait times, New York City\u2019s buses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/05\/02\/opinion\/nyc-buses-mta.html\">are the slowest<\/a> of any large city in the country.<\/p>\n<p>For those who can afford it, many New Yorkers are turning to personal or for-hire vehicles to get where they\u2019re going, clogging the streets with pollution-spewing vehicles. South of 60th Street, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nyc.gov\/html\/dot\/downloads\/pdf\/mobility-report-2018-print.pdf\">vehicles move at 7.1 mph<\/a> on average, down from 9.1 mph in 2012. In midtown Manhattan, average speeds are an abysmal 5 mph.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Threat to climate progress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These alarming trends threaten to increase New York\u2019s carbon footprint. Transportation already makes up <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/assets\/sustainability\/downloads\/pdf\/publications\/GHG Inventory Report Emission Year 2016.pdf\">almost a third<\/a> of New York City\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions, with the majority of that pollution coming from gasoline and diesel. On-road vehicles account for 96 percent of emissions from transportation.<\/p>\n<p>As climate change shows its teeth \u2013 intensifying hurricanes, heat waves and wildfires across the country \u2013 we need more people riding mass transit and fewer cars on the road that are using fossil fuels, and fast. An efficient, modern transportation sector would include a range of low-pollution options: innovative public transit with up-to-date sensors and signals to increase capacity and reliability; a transition to electric vehicles for buses, trucks and cars; and increased transit access in communities that don\u2019t have it today.<\/p>\n<p>With a public transit system that\u2019s falling apart, New York threatens to increase its transportation emissions \u2013 just as we should be moving to aggressively cut pollution.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, we have a comprehensive, ambitious roadmap to fix and modernize both the transit system and improve the effectiveness of how money is spent on capital projects. New York City Transit\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/fastforward.mta.info\/\">Fast Forward Plan<\/a> lays out a pathway to fix the subways, expand service to underserved communities, deliver new solutions for \u201ctransit deserts\u201d and transition the city\u2019s bus fleet to electricity. It\u2019s a great roadmap. But there\u2019s no funding source in place to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>How do we fund this vision in a fair and effective way? The most viable answer to this question is clear: adopt a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/fixing-new-york-city-transit\">comprehensive congestion pricing system<\/a> for trucks and cars in the most congested parts of the city. That would be a climate twofer: reducing polluting private cars while funding improved transit service. Without congestion pricing or a similar comprehensive transportation funding policy, New York risks exacerbating the climate change that threatens to inundate its coastlines and make its summers more miserable.<\/p>\n<p>With a rapidly changing climate, we\u2019re in a race for our lives. Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/new-york\/ny-metro-cuomo-subway-jfk-infrastructure-20181004-story.html\">declared<\/a> congestion pricing as the \u201conly realistic option\u201d to fund subway improvements, and he\u2019s right. It\u2019s time for elected state leaders to put their money where their mouth is on climate action, and invest in New York\u2019s public transit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A version of this piece originally ran on City and State New York.
