Only 40% of eligible New Yorkers are enrolled in Fair Fares – because many don’t know they qualify.
The Council is proud to help streamline enrollment into the Fair Fares discounted transit program and enroll more New Yorkers in this vital program.

North Shore NYC is coming to Staten Island, thanks to @KamillahMHanks.
This new waterfront vision will bring more housing, shopping, and dining spaces to the North Shore, forging a true downtown Staten Island.
When we help transform one neighborhood, we are contributing to the transformation of our entire city.
NYC relies on state funding for 17% of its budget, with education and social services topping the list as highlighted in my new report. Both the city and state would be forced to make tough choices about paying for important programs should federal funding cuts occur.

Breaking News: Peter Max, whose trippy Day-Glo artwork expressed the blissed-out exuberance of the countercultural 1960s, has died at 88. https://t.co/rJqSJRBBPS
9/11 taught us what hate can do and what happens when New Yorkers choose unity over division.
As a former teacher who taught in the years soon after 9/11, and later as a City Council Member who worked to combat hate and strengthen communities, I have seen how important those lessons remain.
Nearly 25 years later, we cannot fight hate selectively. Antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism and bigotry all tear at the same fabric of our city.
That is why building bridges across communities is central to @JCRCNY’s work.
We honor those we lost not only by remembering, but by choosing courage, decency and solidarity over fear and division.
I wrote about why this moment demands all of us.

The @MetOpera needs to take a cue from @LAOpera & give us one re-imagining a year of either a Bernstein or Sondheim show. It would sell out every performance. https://t.co/MW0FmSVg5h
