​Mass Transit
       When Andrew Cuomo became governor of NY almost 8 years ago, subways had an on time performance of 85.4%. Now,  it is a disappointing 58.1 percent. It seems as if he wants to hurt us, doesn’t he?
       Transportation is a huge part in New York City, and it needs to be fixed. Molinaro is a huge advocate for MTA reformations to make it a better experience for all New Yorkers. He plans to:
  • Reduce Costs on Large Projects
    • Increasing working hours to finish projects faster
    • Adjusting workforce to decrease over staffing
  • Reducing Operating Costs
    • Reduce overtime
    • Reduce debt
  • Maintain a State of Safety and Stability
    • Maintain proper maintenance
    • Focus on repair instead of luxury
  • Change MTA Culture
    • New leadership and expectations
  • Improved Accessibility to All
    • Increased stations
    • Properly update buses and trains
    • Adjust fares to be affordable for all
