“FAIR FARES”REDUCED FAIRMETROCARD CAMPAIGN

New report finds 1 in 4low-income New Yorkerscan’t afford MetroCards;

an estimated 800,000riders would be eligiblefor a half-price fare for

lowest-income NewYorkers, saving thosewho opt to participate

up to $700 per yearOn the heels of a new report

showing that 1 in 4 low-incomeNew Yorkers cannot afford touse public transportation, promi-nent local advocates CommunityService Society and Riders Alli-ance announced a new campaignto win “Fair Fares,” a campaignfor reduced-fare MetroCards thatwould be available to the city’sworking poor.

The rally last week comes asCommunity Service Society ofNew York (CSS), a research and

advocacy organization that worksto spur upward mobility for low-income New Yorkers, releases anew report, “The TransitAffordability Crisis.” The reportfinds that over a quarter of low-income New Yorkers were oftenunable to afford the subway or busin the past year, limiting manyNew Yorkers’ opportunities to getgood jobs and affordable housingand, in many cases, forcing themto choose between transit and othernecessities. CSS’s most recentcitywide survey, the UnheardThird, found that that the conse-quences were especially severe forlow-income working age blacksand Latinos, with 31 percent ofAfrican-Americans and 43 percentof Latinos reporting that the cost ofMTA fares kept them from look-ing for or taking a job further fromthe neighborhoods where they live.

Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens, the Bronx), Vice Chair of the Demo-cratic Caucus, issued the following statement on Equal Pay Day, whichreflects how far into the current year women must work to match what menearned in the previous year. Crowley is a co-sponsor of the PaycheckFairness Act, which strengthens the Equal Pay Act and helps to ensurewomen everywhere will earn a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work. “Genderpay inequity directly affects women. But, let’s be clear, it also affectsfamilies and our society as a whole. It is unfathomable that in 2016, men’sand women’s salaries have yet to reach parity. The consequences of thiswage gap extend far beyond the here and now. Lower pay today meansfewer savings down the road, leading to greater economic insecurity inretirement. We owe it to the women of our country to fix this problem onceand for all. House Democrats will continue fighting for equal pay in orderto give women the compensation and respect they deserve. On this EqualPay Day, we recommit to making equal pay for equal work a reality.”

At Sunday’s rally, CSS andmembers of the Riders Alliance, agrassroots membership organiza-tion of subway and bus riders, an-nounced the release of the studyand called for Mayor Bill de Blasioand the City Council to establish aprogram that would allow ridersbelow the federal poverty level topurchase half-fare MetroCards.

The new study, “The TransitAffordability Crisis,” principallyauthored by CSS Senior LaborEconomist Harold Stolper, usesdata collected through CSS’s sci-entific survey to document theheavy burden that transit fares

place on the already strained bud-gets of low-income New Yorkers,and the consequences of this bur-den on their daily lives. The re-port complements this data-drivenanalysis with low-income riders’own stories of hardship to demon-strate that the high—and increas-ing—cost of a MetroCard makespublic transportation inaccessibleto New York’s neediest riders.According to the study, low-in-come riders are the most “transitdependent” of any New Yorkpopulation, with fully 58 percentrelying on the subway or bus. Forthese individuals, the cost of aMetroCard makes up 10 percentof their budget, forcing many rid-ers to make tough choices be-tween transit and other necessi-ties, limiting their access to eco-nomic opportunity.

“The Transit Affordability Cri-sis” describes how other large cit-ies—including Seattle, San Fran-cisco, and London— have easedthe burden on low-income fami-

lies through fare discount programs,and introduces a similar fare dis-count proposal for low-income sub-way and bus riders on the MTA.

A half-fare discount programtargeted to poor New Yorkerswould save those who take advan-tage of it as much as $700 a year offthe cost of 12 monthly passes. Anestimated 800,000 adults would beeligible for the reduced fares. Thenumber of eligible individuals whoultimately participate in the pro-gram will depend heavily on howthe program is designed and imple-mented, but assuming a take-uprate among regular subway andbus users comparable to that forbenefits like food stamps, the studyestimates that 361,000 riders wouldparticipate at a cost of roughly $194million a year in foregone fareboxrevenue. Several possible sourcesof additional revenue for the MTAare suggested to offset lost revenuein order to avoid the need to raisefares for other riders to cover thecost of the discounts.

BILL REQUIRING MAPOF WATER OUTAGESOn April 7th, Majority Leader

Van Bramer introduced a bill,Int. 1156, requiring the Depart-ment of Environmental Protec-tion to provide online notice ofcurrent and planned water out-ages. This legislation, drafted inresponse to a constituent com-plaint, will keep New York Cityresidents informed of water out-ages in their neighborhoods.

DEP currently provides no-tice of planned water outages viapaper flyers, but these signs fre-quently become damaged or blowaway. Additionally, paper signsare inefficient at informing resi-dents of unplanned outages. Thislegislation requires that DEP pro-vide a map, updated at least daily,with information on current andplanned water outages for each

city block. To the extent pos-sible, the map will also include astart time and expected end timefor each outage.

“If the water goes out on yourblock, you should have easy ac-cess to information about why—and when you can expect it tocome back on,” said MajorityLeader Jimmy Van Bramer. “It’sa quality of life issue. It’s notdifficult or complicated for DEPto provide this data to New YorkCity residents, but it’s incrediblyfrustrating to turn on the tap, haveno water come out, and not be ableto find any more information.”

Council Member CostaConstantinides, Chair of the Coun-cil Environmental Protection Com-mittee, said, “An online map ofwater outages throughout our city

will ensure that all residents areinformed about interruptions totheir water delivery. This bill willreduce confusion and help improvequality of life. I commend Major-ity Leader Van Bramer for his lead-ership on this important issue.”

“The City has a responsibilityto keep the public informed ofevents that have the potential todisrupt their daily lives,” saidDeputy Leader James Vacca, Chairof the New York City CouncilCommittee on Technology. “Be-ing without running water is a hugeinconvenience. In the case ofplanned outages, it’s a no-brainerto have this information online andavailable ahead of time. In the caseof unplanned outages, it’s criticalthat status updates be made avail-able as quickly as possible.”

MULCH ACROSS

by David Rosasco

It would be Michael Maye, 8th

grade student at St. Sebastian School,who would sum up best the capacity ofhim and the vast array of youth toignore anything that might cause oth-ers to cancel their projects, assertingwith a boldness backed by experience“I’ve been out here in all kinds ofweather, the snow, below freezing,super-hot days, so a little chilly rain isnot a problem at all”.

His resolve to carry on withoutpausing was revealed again duringongoing mulching operations on Sat-urday, April 9, with another 25 streettrees mulched along 67th Street be-tween Woodside and Roosevelt Av-enues due to the sheer length of thisroad and the number of relatively newstreet trees.

Simultaneous to this work, anotherseparate team was tasked to removegraffiti along 41st Avenue between 67th

and 73rd Street, reaching the borderwith Elmhurst in good order before therains appeared in force. Edison Sisterna,

12 grade student at the Youth Leader-ship Academy and long-time memberof the team, remarked “As long as westayed ahead of the rain, we could re-move any graffiti we saw, and evenstretch the project area without worry.”

The work of the small hours com-pleted, another gathering of youth andmissionaries from The Church of JesusChrist of Latter-day Saints appeared inthe afternoon hours to stabilize twoparticular street trees on 63rd Street andWoodside Avenue, and on 64th Streetbetween Woodside and RooseveltAvenues respectively, despite the in-tensity of the rain in order to save thesewounded trees.

Meanwhile, yet another subgroupwas tasked with cleaning operationsalong Roosevelt Avenue from 61st to69th Streets, and, upon their comple-tion of that task, rejoined the mainbody of youth in the final minutes ofthe tree work, with Alexis Melendez,7th grade student at St. Sebastian Schoolobserving “It’s cold, but I don’t wantto leave until everything is completed.”
