NJ Transit Public hearings begin today

by: Jason Springer

Thu Mar 25, 2010 at 11:45:00 AM EDT



The first of three days of public hearings will be held by NJ Transit tonight from 5pm-8:30pm where riders can have their say about the proposed 25% fare hike and service cuts. You can view a breakdown of the proposed fair hikes and policy changes, which are scheduled to go into effect on May 1. Their site also contains frequently asked questions they get about why they are in this situation and what the potential changes in service are.

Here is a video NJ Transit put out with a powerpoint explaining the FY 2011 budget:

I'll put the full schedule of hearings and locations below the fold. If you attend a hearing, drop us a report in the comments. If you can't make it to a hearing, you can still have your voice heard through this online comment form. To date, they've received over 2500 comments and I'm sure they get some pretty entertaining responses.
