NYC Traffic Violations Bureau: The Deck Is Stacked Against You

As many in the community are aware, I have been defending motorists in traffic courts all around New York since 1992. I have seen a consistent decline in the alleged impartiality of the system. In my opinion, the start of the decline was in 2019, when the Department of Motor Vehicles merged with the NYC Traffic Violations Bureau. Until then, there was at least an illusion that motorists disputed their moving violations in a judicial/legal setting. This is absolutely not the case anymore.

Governor Hochul Announces Completion Of Major Work On The Transformative Van Wyck Expressway Project

Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the substantial completion of main line work on the transformational $1.4 billion Van Wyck Expressway Project with the opening of new managed-use lanes for taxis and high-occupancy vehicles in both directions between the Kew Gardens Interchange and Atlantic Avenue and John F. Kennedy International Airport. A centerpiece of the project, the managed-use lanes will provide speedier trips to and from the airport for taxis and other multi-person vehicles, thereby encouraging their use and reducing congestion along the main line highway. The new lanes, which opened Friday morning, are one of several new features and safety enhancements added to the Van Wyck Expressway as part of the project, which will be considered fully complete once work to rehabilitate nearby service roads is finished later this year.

MTA doubles down on new fare gates, plans to expand to 20 more NYC subway stations

The MTA is doubling down on its new glass fare gates, expanding them to 20 more subway stations across the city, touting a 35% reduction in fare evasion and projected savings of $100 million annually. The expansion will replace turnstiles at all station entrances, rather than just some station entrances as had been the case for the first 20 stations with the gates under a pilot program launched last year. The pilot gates cut into fare evasion by an average of 35% and could recover $100 million a year in unpaid fares, officials said Wednesday. “When something works, we double down,” Hochul said at a press conference at the MTA’s Consolidated Revenue Facility in Queens. Blakeman urges Jewish New Yorkers to ‘get into this fight’ ahead of November election Gov. Kathy Hochul walked through the MTA’s new gates which they set up at the MTA’s Consolidated Revenue Facilityfacility in Queens. Susan Watts/Office of Governor Kathy Hochul “These new fare gates have created a better riding experience for customers and made it harder for would-be fare evaders to enter the system without paying.” The MTA loses roughly $350 million annually from fare beaters.
