Wonderful.
Well, good morning and thanks so much, Chair Abreu, Chair Lee, and members of the Committees on Transportation, Infrastructure, and Finance.
I'm Mike Flynn, Commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation, and I'm joined today with First Deputy Commissioner Margaret Forgione,
Acting Chief Administrative Officer Igor Yaroslavsky, Deputy Commissioner of Transportation Planning and Management Eric Beaton, and Assistant Commissioner for Intergovernmental and Community Affairs Rick Rodriguez.
Thank you for the opportunity to testify on behalf of Mayor Zoran Mamdani on DOT's fiscal year 2027 executive budget and fiscal year 2026 to 2035 capital plan.
As Mayor Mamdani announced, this executive budget puts forward a strong budget during a tough fiscal climate that's balanced while also protecting the daily services New Yorkers rely on.
And I apologize if I go a little quickly because I know we are tight on time.
