Nicole Gelinas Explores New York’s Transportation Evolution in ‘Movement’

Nicole Gelinas is an influential writer based in New York. She writes for the New York Post and the Manhattan Institute. In her new book, “Movement: New York’s Long War to Take Back Its Streets from the Car,” Gelinas examines New York’s transportation system. She builds on Robert Caro’s analysis of Robert Moses in the book “The Power Broker.”

In an interview with NY1’s Errol Louis, Gelinas explains her motivation for writing “Movement.” She discusses its connection to Caro’s work, what Mayor Eric Adams should prioritize, and why New York City keeps repeating mistakes in mass transit. She also shares ideas on improving the messaging for congestion pricing.
