📢 Last year, NYC expanded Fair Fares to those at 120% FPL, but many low-income New Yorkers remain ineligible. Expanding #FairFares is an investment in transit and economic mobility for our communities. #TransitAffordability

This report shows there are clear racially disparate impacts in the City’s subsidies for public transit options. We cannot leave New Yorkers of color behind. Now is the time for NYC to expand Fair Fares eligibility to ensure this program reaches New Yorkers who need it most.
