Freedom Ticket: Southeast Queens Proof of Concept (2015)

The New York City Transit Riders Council (NYCTRC) is concerned with the speed and cost of commuting to and from Southeast Queens. SE Queens commuters can get to Manhattan and Brooklyn quickly on the LIRR, but the cost of the commuter ticket is unaffordable for many. Our Freedom Ticket: Southeast Queens Proof of Concept proposal to the MTA can be implemented quickly in 2017 at minimal cost, enabling the LIRR to fill current empty seats. The project can then be expanded to other city commuter rail stations that are distant from subway stations.
