The passage of New York's complete streets law was one of the year's biggest victories for safe and sustainable transportation. At its annual benefit next Thursday, Tri-State Transportation Campaign will celebrate getting the through Albany and honor three pivotal figures in that fight: Sen. Charles Fuschillo, the bill's sponsor; Sandi Vega, whose daughter Brittany was killed while crossing Long Island's Sunrise Highway and who became a tireless advocate for complete streets; and the AARP. Also speaking will be special guest Janette Sadik-Khan.
We'll be there next Thursday and hope you will too. Tri-State is out there fighting for sustainable transportation options across the region -- advocating for a highway teardown in New Haven, protecting LI Bus riders from fare hikes and service cuts, and helping to build transit-oriented communities around NJ Transit lines.
