SUMMARY:Join Michelle at the MBTA's Public Meeting to Oppose Fare Hikes
DESCRIPTION:Sign On To Oppose MBTA Fare Hikes \nIn December 2018 the State’s Commission on the Future of Transportation and the City of Boston’s Carbon Free Boston initiative each released a report highlighting the urgent need for us to grow public transit ridership\, for our economy and for environment. One month later\, the MBTA announced proposed fare increases that would lead to continued ridership declines. There is no time left to delay in addressing climate change and income inequality. Instead of fare hikes\, we should be discussing bold ideas to invest in transit. \nThe MBTA is hosting a public meeting to collect feedback on the fare increase proposal on Wednesday\, February 27th at 6:30PM\, at the State Transportation Building (10 Park Plaza\, Boston). We intend to present this petition with signatures at that meeting. \nPlease sign on below and join us in person if you can! \nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfxZqYUEiEMFy0Hb6oiJ2lsWkdwaeNIlJ7RuJTeF4XbU7ja4Q/viewform
