NYC's public transportation system is critical for millions of residents, yet West Bronx commuters face overcrowded buses, inaccessible subway stations, and rising fares that make travel more difficult. Bryan’s is committed to offering real solutions that will expand access to affordable and reliable transportation, ensuring that every Bronx resident can get where they need to go, safely and efficiently.

1. Expand "Fair Fares" to All Minimum Wage Workers. Bryan understands the financial burden that rising transportation costs place on working families, especially those earning minimum wage. That’s why he will push to expand the Fair Fares NYC program to cover all minimum-wage workers, providing them with a 50% discount on subway and bus fares. This initiative will reduce transportation costs for those who need it most, allowing low-income workers to keep more of their hard-earned money.

2. Expand Express & Select Bus Service. Overcrowded buses continue to create long wait times and inequity for Bronx residents. Bryan’s plan includes expanding express and select bus service to increase transportation availability in underserved areas. By enhancing these services, we can reduce congestion, improve reliability, and provide faster transit options to communities that rely heavily on buses for daily commutes. Additionally, Bryan will advocate for increased enforcement of bus lane violations to ensure that dedicated lanes are used effectively, improving bus travel speeds and reducing delays.

3. Increase Protected Bike Lanes. Bryan believes that making our streets safer for cyclists is crucial to improving transportation options in the Bronx. He will push for the expansion of protected bike lanes to ensure that cyclists can travel safely through the borough. Protected lanes will encourage more residents to consider cycling as a reliable and sustainable alternative to traditional transit, reducing traffic congestion and promoting a healthier, greener community.
