This Week: Transit Love, Taxis and TOD
Start your week off by sending a valentine to New York’s transit system, and then enjoy some intellectual conversation about the future of the taxi and the promise of transit-oriented development.
Today: Happy Valentine’s Day. Join Transportation Alternatives, the Transit Workers Union, WE ACT for Environmental Justice and the Straphanger’s Campaign at three different subway stations to sign a valentine expressing your love for our transit system, which they’ll deliver to Albany. 4:30 p.m.
Tuesday: TLC Commissioner David Yassky sits down with NYU’s Mitchell Moss to discuss the future of taxis in New York City. 8:30 a.m.

Wednesday: Columbia urban planning professor David King talks transit-oriented development, clean air and climate change with NYMTC, New York’s metropolitan planning organization. 12:00 p.m.
