A Q&A With Ted Kheel, Free Transit Advocate
Gothamist caught up with Ted Kheel, the 93 year old head of the Nurture New York’s Nature Foundation, which addresses the “fundamental conflict between development and the environment.” Kheel will release the findings of his study “The Kheel Plan for Balancing Free Transit and Congestion Pricing in New York City” later this month:
Many New Yorkers would love for subways and buses to be free, but are skeptical of such a plan actually working? What do you say to the skepticism?
I think the skeptics will be amazed, when they see our report. We have a brilliant team of experts working on this report, and they have been working for almost a full year. They are running the numbers, anticipating the problems, and finding concrete answers. We know what the concerns are, and we took them seriously and are addressing them. Your readers should look at our preliminary mini-report, posted on the web.
