Jenny wishes to create a space for all New Yorkers to play a role in preserving and improving our subway. Drawing inspiration from successful “Friends of” models like the Central Park Conservancy and Friends of the High Line, Jenny is creating Friends of the Subway. The nonprofit strives to tap into the time, talent, and treasure of all New Yorkers, recognizing the role we can play in elevating rider experience and transit infrastructure to continue to compete with leading systems worldwide.
