Statement from the Sensible Ways to LGA Coalition:
“We appreciate and support the Port Authority and its expert panel advancing airport transit improvements with a high ridership bang for the buck that will be quick to implement,” said the Sensible Ways to LGA coalition, a group of community, transit and good government organizations.“ Ridership on the Q70 bus route to the airport was growing rapidly prior to the onset of COVID. Further improvements on that route, and the new Astoria airport bus line will provide real transit access improvements to travelers and the airport workforce without a lengthy or overly costly construction process.”
