QueensWay and the Trust for Public Land know this and are trying to prove to elected officials that their anti-transit scheme is what residents want. We CAN'T let that happen. Visit the 🔗 in bio to tell leaders that we need QueensLink NOW!

What happens when you build the trails before the rails? You get Atlanta's Beltline, a project which after two decades has still not added the rail.

The future of Queens shouldn’t cater to a select few. Communities should decide how we forge a better borough.

Use our letter writing tool below to tell local elected leaders that Queens doesn’t want an anti-transit scheme. We need QueensLink NOW!

There’s been some chatter about the anti-transit scheme and whether or not they lost funding. Here’s what’s going on.

In 1973, most E service was cut back except for a few rush hour trains to Rockaway Park. Just three years later it was cut back again to World Trade Center all times, where it has remained since.

That’s right. For nearly 20 years there was a one seat ride from Queens to Queens. The journey time from Far Rockaway to Jackson Heights? About an hour and a half.
