| Press Release: Fundamental Fairness: Joint Statement to the MTA Board
Our buses, subways and rails are the lifeblood of this region. Vital to our economy, our environment and our quality of life, this transit network moves more than nine million workers, customers, tourists and students each workday. The MTA is in crisis but clearly the budget being voted on today must not stand. If it does, the results threaten to propel our city and our region into an economic, social and environmental tailspin. Now is the time for leadership that recognizes the enormity of our problem and inspires us all to be part of the solution to this crisis.
We applaud the Governor’s Commission on MTA Financing for their recommendations, which continue a 30-year tradition of asking those who benefit, whether directly or indirectly from our transit system, to contribute to the maintenance of this vital network.
The Commission’s recommendations are marked by a fundamental fairness:
We, the organizations that stand here today, support these fundamentally fair recommendations presented by the Governor’s Commission on MTA Financing.
We acknowledge that it is a difficult choice for elected officials to approve and implement any changes that will spread the burden of helping to fund our transit system to some who benefit from our region’s transit network and are not accustomed to contributing. But, we ask our leaders to consider the stark unfairness of placing a disproportionate burden on only some of the millions who benefit from our transit system, as well as the nightmare scenario of a transit network whose services and maintenance are drastically reduced due to a lack of support.
