New York City will become the first in the nation to implement congestion pricing—and is working to put the program into place before Trump takes office. This is a major win for the future of New York’s transportation system, cleaner air, and Governor Kathy Hochul's climate legacy.

"Colorado’s Vision 2035 affirms the state’s commitment to wielding that power to save households money, reduce pollution, &increase economic opportunity for all—with lessons for any other state committed to tackling these issues head-on."- Alana Miller nrdc.org/bio/alana-mill…

Today, many Coloradans do not have a safe, quick, and reliable alternative to driving for many daily tasks. With Transportation Vision: 2035, we are setting the path to expand options like bus, train, biking or walking, that save time and money, reduce traffic, and cut pollution.

How can increased transportation choices can lead to happier, healthier lives? 🚉 🚲 @rockymtninst’s Miguel Moravec joins the Active Towns podcast to chat how more transit, walking, & biking opportunities can reduce costs, improve safety + bring joy. youtube.com/watch?v=3aMNC8…

A bit striking to find such a clear threshold: "Using a car for over 50% of out-of-home activities lowers life satisfaction." Strong evidence that *safe options* – walk, bike, and transit – in addition to cars are key to a happy, active life.

To truly understand how our work to break down barriers to housing near transit and job centers improves affordability and quality of life for Coloradans, I highly recommend reading this insightful take by Matt Frommer from @sweep.org. ow.ly/IOSp50UBcnf
