Straphangers - It's Time to Strike Back!

On July 15, 2003 a State Appellate Court panel ruled 5-0 that the MTA did not violate the law in its public notices, overturning Justice York's May 14th decision. For the moment, the fare hike and station booth closings stand. The decision is being appealed.

The NYPIRG Straphangers Campaign urges you to speak out! Here's what you can do:

• Call/E-mail Your Elected Officials Today!
  
   
  • Tell them: You're outraged the MTA misled the public about their finances and to enact laws that will make the MTA more open and accountable!
