As New York powers back on amid mass coronavirus vaccination efforts and a statewide reopening of businesses scheduled for May 19, New Yorkers are returning to the city’s subways and buses. One transportation advocacy group, the Tri-State Transportation Campaign, is calling for just and equitable transportation access with a new leader at its helm. Renae Reynolds is the organization’s new executive director, beginning her job last month. Prior to joining TSTC, Reynolds was a leader at the New York City Environmental Justice Alliance, where she managed efforts to curb transportation pollution in vulnerable communities and lobbied the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to move toward an all-electric bus fleet by 2040. She also helped pass the New York City congestion pricing program.
