8.4 million residents. More than 5 million MetroCard swipes across 472 subway stations every day. The largest single public school district in the United States.
As New Yorkers, we live in our country’s largest city — with some of the largest cultural and business hubs in the world — and we need the right structures in place to make it all function. It’s a complex undertaking, and there’s always room to improve, but one thing is clear: well-run transportation, accessible housing, access to art and culture, and quality schools are some of the key components to ensuring New York maintains its status as a world-class city.
Tech:NYC is committed to supporting just that, so we’re hosting a series of lunchtime dialogues for tech employees in our membership to engage on the issues that make our city run — and what we can do to support its well being into the future.
