Whether you’re struggling to afford the rising cost of living, know someone who is, or simply believe that every New Yorker—regardless of their income—has the right to travel, explore, and experience all our city has to offer, we all have a stake in the fight to #ExpandFairFares. This is especially true now, as MTA debates a new fare hike to $2.90 for later this year.
Mayor Adams has the power to cut transit costs in half for more than 1 million people. It’s time for him to act NOW. On Thursday, June 22, riders, advocates, and elected leaders are standing together at MTA Headquarters to implore Mayor Adams to expand the Fair Fares program and guarantee access to affordable transit for all New Yorkers.
Rally will start at 9:30am outside MTA HQ. Then, at 10:00am we will go inside to testify at the fare hike hearing.
