Outer Borough Commuting
Tomorrow, June 19, 2012, Council Member James Vacca, Chair of the New York City Council Transportation Committee, will hold an oversight hearing to discuss the transit needs of outer borough commuters. This hearing comes in response to a report, published in June of 2011 by the Center for an Urban Future, which showed job gains for the outer boroughs in spite of the ongoing recession and highlighted a need for better transit services to job centers outside the Manhattan core.
