Mayoral hopeful Scott Stringer is proposing to jolt the city's recovery with a $50 million plan that would give transit and small business vouchers to all vaccinated New Yorkers.
Dubbed "VaxPacks," the program could include redeemable vouchers for a two-trip MetroCard; $20 to use at local New York City restaurants and other small businesses; and admission to movie theaters, museums or other cultural venues.
"By offering free VaxPacks to vaccinated New Yorkers, we are injecting much needed stimulus into our local economy," Stringer said in a press release previewed by Gothamist. "It’s time to think creatively and outside-the-box to deliver a safe and successful reopening with an equitable recovery."
