We all know about the MTA’s proposal to eliminate student metrocards, which could cost half a million students nearly $1,000 per year in transportation fees. We can do something about it. Sign the petition addressed to Jay Walder, the Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
“While other jurisdictions rely on a yellow school bus to get their children to school, in New York City the yellow MetroCard is our school bus, which 400,000 students rely on every day to travel to school and participate in after-school activities. Cutting the Student MetroCard program is not the answer to the MTA’s budget shortfall, and we will not stand for its proposed elimination.”
Sign the petition here. There are currently only 13228 signatures. Please sign and PASS IT ON. (You need to be a New York resident to sign).
