Congestion pricing is working.

It is reducing traffic by 11%.

What does that mean?

70,000 cars are off the road every single day.

What else is it doing?

It's moving our buses faster.

It's moving people faster.

We've seen a change in ridership, but also we've seen safety increases.

There's a 14% decline in pedestrian crashes.

And on top of it all, it is bringing in the revenue that we had projected earlier.

The MTA has heard from other cities and transit properties and engaged with them to have conversations about the process that New York implemented for the successful congestion pricing program that we're having.

So they're looking at it at us as a model.

I think, I think we talked about that at our special board meeting on Monday, you know,

The contract that our board just approved is a almost $1.9 billion contract to start boring, right?

What does that mean?

It's starting the tunneling for the three stations that are vital to Second Avenue subway phase two.

And we are committed to expanding Second Avenue phase two here.

And we think it's going to be a great service to our customers.

It's going to serve about 100,000 customers in addition to the 200,000 customers that Second Avenue Subway Phase 1 serves today.

I think the 2032 was the service date that we have set publicly.
