The first "New York City Mobility Report" released under the leadership of New York Department of Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg finds two sides of transit coin.
David Meyer interviews Ryan Russo, deputy commissioner for transportation management and planning, about the recent release of the DOT's "New York City Mobility Report."
According to Meyer's introduction of the article, the report is "the agency’s first overview of NYC transportation trends in three years," which finds growth in the subway and bike network, while also finding declining bus ridership and bus speeds. Ben Fried reports on the report in an earlier article for Streetsblog NYC.
