This episode focuses on the Triboro Subway Proposal, through conversation with the Regional Plan Association's (RPA) Vanessa Barrios, Maulin Mehta, and Moses Gates. RPA has built support for the Triboro since 1996 and continues to advocate for this transformative infrastructure project for The Bronx, Queens, & Brooklyn:

'Running 24 miles on existing track from Co-op City in the Bronx to Bay Ridge in Brooklyn, the Triboro would be an above-ground rail line connecting 17 subway lines and 4 commuter lines.'

Today's interview also touches upon the most recent federal budget allocations for public transit, public transit advocacy, and other proposed transit and planning programs for the Bronx.

Vanessa Barrios is Senior Associate, State Programs & Advocacy @ RPA

Maulin Mehta is Senior Associate, State Programs & Advocacy @RPA
