Here's what we think will happen with your commitment, some hard work, and a bit of good luck:
Awakened by the MTA mess, internal ethics scandals and broad budget bungles, New York's voters will clean house in Albany, knocking off
nine incumbents.
At the behest of health professionals, district attorneys and advocates, and in response to the national outcry over distracted driving, the NYPD will accept its responsibility to save lives by enforcing traffic laws.
With momentum building behind plans for a citywide public bike share, the Bloomberg Administration will get serious about a network of physically protected bike lanes.
As health care reform rolls down Capitol Hill, New York City's medical establishment will embrace safer streets as a cost-effective form of preventative care.
Fed up with perennial fare hikes and service cuts, NYC's transit takers will find a common voice and call on elected officials to make drivers pay their fair share. And buses will be the new black.
With growing member rolls and new volunteer opportunities, T.A. will have its best year ever, making changes on your block, in our city and around the country and the world.
