SENATOR RIVERA ACROSS THE COUNTRY
SENATOR RIVERA AT THE NATIONAL MEETING OF STATE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE CHAIRS IN DENVER, COLORADO
Last week, Senator Rivera attended the National Meeting of State Health and Human Services Committee Chairs in Denver, Colorado. This meeting, sponsored by the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) in partnership with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), brings together health and human services committee chairs and vice chairs from across the country to learn and strategize on state health and human services priorities.
During the meeting, officials explored and discussed timely and important health and human services topics such as Medicaid and economic mobility, the health care workforce, child welfare, substance use disorder treatment in rural and high-needs areas, maternal health access in rural communities, family tax credits, and more.
SENATOR RIVERA JOINS INAUGURATION OF NEW ELEVATORS AND UPGRADES AT THE MOSHOLU PARKWAY 4 SUBWAY STATION
This week, Senator Rivera joined MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber, along with community members and elected officials, to celebrate the new elevators at the Mosholu Parkway 4 subway station in the district.
The upgraded station is now fully accessible. The MTA has completed two new elevators providing access between the street level and the platform level. One elevator brings customers from street level to the mezzanine and platform, and the other connects the mezzanine to the uptown platform.
In addition, the Mosholu Parkway station now features three new stairways, an enlarged mezzanine, new lighting and turnstiles, an upgraded agent booth, and enhanced boarding areas and sidewalks to comply with ADA standards.
Approximately 4,000 customers use the Mosholu Parkway station on weekdays, so these improvements are a welcome addition. Thank you to the MTA!
