Tell The City Your Public Transit Needs At Brooklyn College Forum

FLATBUSH, BROOKLYN — The Department of Transportation (DOT) will host a public meeting at Brooklyn College on Feb. 7 where residents can offer their opinions on what NYC's transit policy and priorities should be going forward. The gathering will run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Bedford Room of the Brooklyn College Student Center, located at 2705 Campus Rd.

The effort is part of the DOT's "Citywide Transit Plan." As the DOT explains on the project's website, the goal is to, "plan for the future of transit in New York City, and account for where and how New Yorkers live today and into the future."

"With input from the community, the plan will identify citywide needs, values and a shared vision, and then define priorities for enhancing transit service for our neighborhoods and connecting all residents to safe, convenient and reliable public transportation," the DOT explains.

Spanish translation will be available at the event (traducción español está dispoñible). Any questions about the gathering can be emailed to brt@dot.nyc.gov.

If if you can't make the forum in person, the DOT also has put together an online survey you can fill out (currently available in English, Spanish and Chinese) so you can still get your opinions heard.
