Urban Investigations

Fast-Tracked

New York is in the process of getting its first new subway stop since 1989. Who decides where new subway stops go? And which comes first—the subway or the people? CUP worked with students in the College Now program at New Design High School to investigate who decides where new subway lines are placed. To find out how transportation decisions get made, the crew interviewed city planners, the MTA, transportation policy experts, and lobbyists.

Together the crew created a newspaper to give you the inside track on the connection between what’s below ground and what’s above. Fast-Tracked is a great resource for urban planning classes, transportation enthusiasts, and anyone interested in how land use decisions get made in New York City.
