Councilmembers questioned transportation officials at an oversight hearing Thursday.

New York City Transit President Rich Davey defended the governor’s plan to send in the National Guard into the subway system.

“I think the governor was looking for ways to support the tremendous work that [the] NYPD is doing and does every day in our system,” Davey said. “And augmenting that with these individuals for bag check but also continue to be eyes and ears in our system. We’re working cooperatively, obviously, with those two entities to employ them in appropriate ways."

Councilmembers like Staten Island Democrat Kamillah Hanks expressed concern about congestion pricing.

“This congestion pricing, which you were proud to say will raise over a billion dollars,” Hanks said. “And my question is, at what cost to the outer boroughs and at what cost to vulnerable populations?”

For the Department of Transportation, there were concerns about efforts to make streets safer, speed cameras and some outrage over bike safety and the city being behind on the amount of bike and bus lanes it is required to build.

Brooklyn Councilmember Lincoln Restler, however, did not blame DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodríguez. Instead, he blamed the mayor.

“He’s walked away from the previous commitments,” Restler said. “And the law in New York City to install 10 of miles of bus lanes, 150 miles in total.”

Rodríguez touted the ones they built last year.

“Northern Boulevard in Queens, Gun Hill Road and University Avenue in the Bronx, Livingston Street in Brooklyn, Third Avenue in Manhattan and the Washington Bridge connecting Manhattan and the Bronx,” Rodríguez said in his opening remarks.

Last year, the DOT said they finished 15.7 miles of new and improved bus lanes, but are required to build 20 to 30 miles each year by law.

City buses are among the slowest in the country. And when asked, the agency had no new buses to announce. They mentioned only redesigns, like the one for Second Avenue.
