Friends Don't Let Friends Pay More for Worse Transit

A note from Michael O'Loughlin, Director, Campaign for New York's Future:

Do you want to pay 3 dollars a ride in exchange for fewer trains or more crowded buses? Didn't think so. Well that could happen if our leaders don't step in and do something about the MTA's multi-billion dollar budget gaps.

My commute is already overcrowded – can you imagine what it will be like if the MTA starts making drastic service cuts in 2009 and can't raise the capital funds needed to maintain the system and expand service for a million more New Yorkers in the years ahead?

I just signed a petition asking our leaders to invest in the transit system that is so vital to New York's economy, our environment and our future – will you do the same? Click on your subway line below to sign the petition representing how you get around:

By investing in transit, we can invest in New York's economy, our environment and our future.

That's why the Campaign for New York's Future is organizing Keep New York Moving Day!

On November 19th – Keep New York Moving Day, we'll be at subway stops throughout the city asking commuters to sign postcards telling local leaders that now's the time to invest in transit.

But you don't have to wait until the 19th. You can sign the petition online right now like I did! Just click on your subway line above.

Click on your subway line or the bus image above and sign the petition today. Then, on Wednesday, look for us at a transit station near you.

Don't miss this chance to make your voice heard!
