> 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.

"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 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.
