A weekly roundup of good deeds, missteps, heroic feats and epic failures in the tri-state region and beyond.

WINNERS

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo — Governor Cuomo vetoed a set of bills that would have significantly obstructed efforts to reform legislation against hit-and-run drivers.

Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy — Governor Malloy said he will restart the effort to protect transportation funding in the next legislative session.

Mujeres en Movimiento — At a Queens CB 4 meeting last week, members of the Corona-based group advocated for a redesign of 111th Street, which includes a road diet and a protected bike lane.

Buffalo bicyclists — Sections of Buffalo’s Niagara Street will be getting protected bike lanes, thanks to a $2.5 million state grant.

U.S. transit commuters — Congress plans to permanently restore parity between transit and parking tax benefits for commuters. Starting in 2016, transit riders will be eligible to use $255 in pre-tax earnings to pay for their commute.

LOSERS

New York State Senator Jose Peralta and Assemblymembers Michael DenDekker and Francisco Moya — The Queens electeds targeted “distracted walkers” in a press conference following the hit-and-run death of 17-year-old Ovidio Jaramillo.

M66, M1 and M101/102/103 riders — The M66 is the slowest city bus, inching along at an average speed of 3.1 mph–slower than a turtle. Meanwhile, the M1 and combined M101/102/103 have the least reliable service, arriving off-schedule 37 percent of the time.

New Jersey Transit riders —  It’s been yet another rough week for NJ Transit commuters, as overhead wire problems and disabled trains continue to delay travelers.
