This week the Riders Alliance released a statement on proposed MTA Service Cuts and Fare Hikes.

Riders Alliance Organizing Manager Stephanie Burgos-Veras said:

“Time is running out and Congress must act now to save millions of riders who depend on trains, buses, and paratransit to get around. Letting the MTA fail would reverse the progress we’ve made toward recovery, leave millions of riders stranded and tank the national economic revival.

“Transit riders need Congress to come together and pass a COVID aid bill now. A fair and fast recovery means leaders in Washington must save the transit system that is the lifeblood of New York and the engine of access and opportunity for New Yorkers.”
