We recently received a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation that will allow us to study the social, environmental, economic, and equitable impacts of the QueensLink vision. HOWEVER, there’s one big catch: we MUST provide matching funds for the grant, which total to $100k.
This is the opportunity of a lifetime, and we don’t want it to go to waste. Queens DESERVES transit equity, especially in neighborhoods in the Rockways which were devastated by urban renewal projects in the mid-20th Century, and face the brunt of climate change in the 21st Century.
Please consider making a donation to QueensLink so that we can continue the fight for all New Yorkers! Your donation will be matched 4X by the USDOT grant. Every bit counts, and from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!!
