A new power list highlighting key figures shaping the future of New York’s transport and mobility landscape has brought several Indian-origin leaders into the spotlight. Published by City & State, the 2026 ‘Trailblazers in Transportation’ list recognises influential voices driving policy, infrastructure and advocacy across the state. Among those featured are three Indian-origin professionals whose work spans grassroots activism, legislative reform and large-scale engineering projects. Their inclusion reflects not only their individual impact but also the growing presence of the Indian diaspora in shaping one of the world’s most complex urban transport systems.
