""Nearly one million New Yorkers live along the proposed IBX route, many of whom feel they need a private car for interborough travel. On this Earth Day, we want to make sure these folks know that soon there will be a better, faster and more climate-friendly way to travel between Brooklyn and Queens.""
""Transportation is the largest source of emissions in the country, accounting for 28% of all national greenhouse gas emissions in 2022. Over half of the transportation sector's emissions come from passenger cars and trucks.""
""The upcoming public workshops are an important step in reaching them as we continue to advance the IBX.""
The MTA announced public engagement for the IBX light rail project, the largest transit expansion in over 50 years. Six meetings will occur in Brooklyn and Queens, allowing residents to share feedback. The IBX will connect nearly a million residents and reduce reliance on private vehicles, leading to an estimated 21.8 million fewer vehicle miles traveled annually. This reduction is expected to lower greenhouse gas emissions significantly. The MTA emphasizes the project's environmental benefits and encourages public participation in the planning process.
