2022 Transportation in NY Summit

New York’s transit systems were hit especially hard during the pandemic. There were also more cars, bikes and scooters on the road and massive improvements were made to existing systems. The pandemic gave us a chance to re-examine and enhance transportation systems across the city and state. This event will bring together experts across sectors to assess the current state of New York’s transportation systems, break down recent legislative actions, and look towards the future of all things coming and going in New York.
