SUMMARY:“People’s Hearing” on NJ Transit Fare Hikes
DESCRIPTION:Wed. March 27 at 12pm – Transit Advocates to Host a Virtual “People’s Hearing” on NJ Transit Fare Hikes\nWHEN: Wednesday\, March 27 at 12:00pm \nWHERE: Watch the event live on New Jersey Policy Perspective’s YouTube page. \nWHAT: Transit advocates\, policy experts\, and community leaders from For The Many NJ and the Fund NJ Transit coalition will co-host a virtual public hearing on NJ Transit’s proposal to raise fares by 15 percent. \nThe event\, The People’s Virtual Hearing on NJ Transit Fare Hikes\, was organized by advocates after NJ Transit did not provide a virtual option for members of the public to testify on the agency’s plan to raise fares by 15 percent this year and 3 percent every year after. Despite numerous requests for a virtual option\, NJ Transit moved forward with in-person only hearings that were not accessible and sparsely attended. \nAdvocates\, riders\, local elected officials\, and community leaders have not only called on NJ Transit to provide a virtual option to testify\, but to refrain from adopting the double-digit fare increase now that Governor Murphy has proposed a dedicated source of state funding for the agency. \nWHO: \n\n\nAlex Ambrose\, New Jersey Policy Perspective (NJPP)\, emcee \n\n\nZoe Baldwin\, Regional Plan Association and Fund NJ Transit coalition \n\n\nEric Benson\, For The Many NJ \n\n\nAdditional organizations\, elected officials\, riders\, and members of the public to be announced at a later date \n\n\n  \n# # # \nFor The Many NJ is a statewide coalition of more than 40 organizations working to expand funding for essential services and improve budget practices to meet current and future needs\, especially for communities that have been historically left behind. \nThe Fund NJ Transit coalition seeks to bring greater prosperity and better transportation to communities across New Jersey. We represent a convening of groups from across New Jersey’s advocacy spectrum to support legislative funding initiatives and to support transformation of NJ Transit into a modern\, effective transit agency for the state’s one million and growing daily transit riders.
