"Rather than shepherd broken contracts to my doorstep, let’s go back to the chalkboard and redraw our system of school transportation. Our students and families deserve nothing less."

A Strong and vital message from @nyccomptroller.bsky.social!
The '23-24 school year had over 83k reported bus delays in NYC, yet Mayor Adams wants to rubberstamp the same failed contracts.
 
I urge the PEP to vote down these contracts & insist the City find another lane.
 
My @nydailynews.com op-ed on our broken bus system: www.nydailynews.com/2025/10/28/w...
Why our students deserve 21st century school buses
Bumpy, uncomfortable, sometimes sweltering, and too often hours late. That’s how it feels for 150,000 New York City students to ride the school bus. Sometimes, it never comes at all.

As Mayor Adams’ Charter Commission meets tonight, we’re calling for real community power in how NYC grows.

We’re part of the Thriving Communities Coalition, and we’re demanding a citywide plan rooted in equity, not big developer profits.
