It was a hot one, but the fight to expand Fair Fares is still going strong! Thank you to the riders, community organizers, and elected leaders @CMCrystalHudson, @CMShahanaHanif, and @CabanD22 for joining us at City Hall to demand affordable transit for all!

i’ve never seen so much excitement for bus infrastructure

"Monitor Point will deliver approximately 1,150 homes, with 40 percent permanently affordable." From @StreetsblogNYC @PCACriders: nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/06/…

📢📢 Working New Yorkers to @nycmayor: Expand Fair Fares! Working-class, transit-dependent bus and subway riders who keep our city running deserve affordable transit. Nobody knows that better than the workers @32bjseiu, who have joined @1199SEIU, @rwdsustronger, @transportworker more in calling on Mayor Mamdani to expand Fair Fares and cut transit costs for millions of workers! Together, these unions represent hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers from home health aides to airport workers, many of whom face massive affordability challenges and would greatly benefit from expanding Fair Fares’ income threshold to reach more low-wage workers.

“Why, why, why are these delays happening?” said Lisa Daglian of @PCACriders. “There’s just no real need except for political posturing.” On the long-stalled accessibility upgrades at 5 Bronx & Manhattan stations — and the Trump tie. thecity.nyc/2026/05/27/eleva…

One in five New Yorkers struggled to afford transit fares, according to CSS’s latest survey, and a third who were eligible for Fair Fares are unenrolled. Respondents called the application process “complicated and slow”, said VP of Research Rachel Swaner.

The cost of riding public transit should never be a barrier for low-income New Yorkers.

We're fighting to expand Fair Fares to provide free subway and bus rides for those who need it most.

🔴NEW BRIEF! Fair Fares makes transit more affordable, but too many eligible New Yorkers are still left out. Survey data point to the need for automatic enrollment and free transit for those with the lowest incomes. Read the findings cssny.us/FairFares26

Today, our coalition of riders, advocates, and community leaders stood together on the steps of City Hall to demand an expanded Fair Fares program with higher income limits for working-class New Yorkers, automatic enrollment, and fare-free transit for riders who currently qualify. Thank you to all who joined us in support!

Newly released Fair Fares reports from @CSSNYorg @MTA both offer strong, data-backed support for higher income limits, automatic enrollment for eligible riders, and cutting costs for low-income New Yorkers even further—just in time for tomorrow's @NYCCouncil hearing!

Free bus, subway, and paratransit for very low income New Yorkers who currently qualify would offer transformative access to opportunity, but for the working class riders who keep this city running, relief can’t stop there. Expanding Fair Fares to those earning up to 300% of the federal poverty level is essential to making transit affordable for *every* New Yorker.

"The first year of congestion pricing in New York saw straphangers take more than 90 million additional subway rides than in the previous year, a new report from @PCACriders found." via @Estarkmiller @amNewYork amny.com/nyc-transit/congest…

Congestion pricing and so many more transformative transit policies would not exist without Lisa Daglian's passionate advocacy at @PCACriders. Thank you for your leadership!

Congestion pricing is working! Ridership is up and growing faster than in previous years. Read our full analysis in PCAC's latest report: pcac.org/report/ridershipret…

Very, very cool news from @PCACriders — there's been more than 90 million additional subway rides since the beginning of congestion pricing in NYC. We've already know it's raised $$ and cleared the air, but it's clear it's incentivizing transit, too! amny.com/nyc-transit/congest…
