2020 CENSUSThe 2020 Census is around

the corner — and it will shape New York City’s future for years to come.Once every ten years, the United States Census takes a count of every person in the United States. The taking of the census is mandated by the United States Constitution and has occurred every 10 years since 1790.But the census is so much more than just a count. Census information is used to determine New York City’s fair share of $650 billion in federal funds for public education, public housing, infrastructure, and more — as well as the number of seats we have in Congress.Because so much is at stake, it’s critical that New Yorkers stand up and be counted in the 2020 Census.In the 2010 Census, the city’s self-response rate was less than 62%, compared to the national average of 76%.We need every New Yorker to get involved to ensure that their community is counted next year.What’s at stake?Billions in federal funds for public education and housing, roads and bridges, and more.The number of seats New York City has in Congress.Your community. Your voice.For more information visit nyc.gov/census2020.

Your pet may have been brought to an Animal Care & Control (ACC) shelter. You can file a lost pet report, and you should check ACC’s website daily for new lost and stray arrivals. If you see an animal that fits the description of your lost pet, you must visit the identified shelter to reclaim your pet.You may not recognize your pet from the pictures and descriptions posted online. Consider visiting a few shelters to see for yourself if your pet is there. Find out shelter hours and locations.• Look for your pet right away. Check everywhere, especially places that your pet has been before (for example, parks and neighbors’ yards/bushes). Search your neighborhood during the day AND at night.• Put signs around your neighborhood, in local stores (especially pet stores and grocery stores), and in veterinarians’ offices (where allowed) for a 3-mile radius. Your signs should be large enough to be read from 10 feet away.• Tell your neighbors (including all neighborhood children), your postal carrier and sanitation workers that your pet is missing.• Visit Petfinder.com to check listings of local shelters and rescue groups in your area. The website will post ads for your lost pet.• Keep searching for at least a few months. People sometimes find a pet and keep it for a while before taking it to a shelter or abandoning it on the street where they found it. Lost pets have been reunited with their families after long periods of time – don’t give up.Other TipsMake sure:• Your dog has a current license tag attached to its collar or halter.• Your pet always wears their collar or halter and that identification tags are securely attached.• Identification tags have current information. • If your pet has a microchip, keep your personal information

up to date with the company that services the microchip.

NYC Transit Stations to Receive $5.5 Billion in Accessibility Improvements Under Proposed 2020-2024 Capital PlanFirst 48 Stations Identified with Community Input; Remaining 22 Stations to be Announced Prior to Approval Vote by Capital Program Review BoardWork at Four Stations to be accelerated into Current Capital PlanProposal Delivers on NYC Transit’s Accessibility Goals of Putting Customers No More than 2 Stations from an Accessible Station The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) today announced the first 48 New York City Transit stations that will be made fully ADA accessible under the proposed 2020-2024 Capital Plan that will significantly expand accessibility across the subway system and provide access to all customers. Recommendations for the additional 22 stations that will also receive accessibility improvements under the next capital plan will be subject to objective criteria, including which stations can be modified in the most efficient manner on the shortest timeline with minimal disruption to service, and public engagement with local stakeholders.“These 48 stations are a terrific first step and help get us closer than ever to achieving systemwide accessibility that all New Yorkers deserve,” said MTA NYC Transit President Andy Byford. “We look forward to hearing from our customers and the community as we work to identify the additional 22 stations.”“We are committed to expanding accessibility and the proposed investment in the next capital plan is a massive boost to our efforts,” said Alex Elegudin, NYC Transit’s Senior Advisor for Systemwide Accessibility. “We worked collaboratively with

communities across the city to identify these stations where our resources can be put to use to benefit the largest number of customers.” Accelerating accessibility is one of NYC Transit’s top priorities, which established the goal of making 50 subway stations fully accessible so that customers would be no farther than two stops from an accessible station by end of the next capital plan. That standard set the parameter in prioritizing the initial 48 stations identified under the 2020-2024 Capital Plan.Other factors that were taken into consideration included major transfer stations and station complexes, ridership, demographics, and technical and geographic issues that would affect costs and constructability. The selection process was driven by extensive community input, including public engagement events, outreach to advocates and community groups, as well as feedback from thousands of elected officials, advocates and customers with disabilities. Similar outreach will be conducted to identify the next 22 stations, which will be announced prior to the MTA Capital Program Review Board vote on the entire Capital Plan proposal.New York City subway stations, many of which were built nearly a century ago and predate the Americans with Disabilities Act, were built in densely populated areas that have since been further developed. Technical and geographic issues included evaluations of the area immediately surrounding each station under consideration, such as any need to move utilities, access provided by third parties, acquisition or real estate needs, sidewalk clearances, sidewalk curb depths, clearance within each station on platforms and for machinery or equipment required for the accessibility.Four of the 48 stations will be fast-tracked for completion by being accelerated into the current 2015-2019 Capital Plan so that project development
