> Changes
> 
> 
> 
>      The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) announced today it will 
> hold eight public hearings across the metropolitan region to solicit input on 
> proposed service changes needed to help address a nearly $400 million budget 
> gap that developed in December. The MTA Board needed to act quickly to pass a 
> balanced budget in December as required, relying on a package of proposed 
> service reductions prepared in 2008 but never instated. Over the past month, 
> MTA Chairman and CEO Jay H. Walder oversaw a review of these proposals to 
> ensure they were designed to limit impact on customers. In many cases, 
> changes have been made to provide service more efficiently and reduce the 
> number of customers affected.
> 
>      "While the cuts in funding to the MTA require painful actions, we have 
> worked hard to limit the impact on customers," said MTA Chairman and CEO Jay 
> H. Walder. "We are now making an unprecedented level of information available 
> to the public so our customers understand exactly how these proposals were 
> developed and the impacts they will have well in advance of the public 
> hearings."
> 
>      The revised list of proposed service changes is available online at 
> www.mta.info<http://www.mta.info/>. The schedule of public hearings listed 
> below is also available online and will be officially noticed in early 
> February. Advanced online registration to speak at one of the hearings will 
> open at that time, and comments can also be submitted by email or regular 
> mail. Following the public hearings, a final decision to implement the major 
> service changes will be considered by the MTA board.
> 
>      All hearings start at 6pm.
