If you've been frustrated with Albany lawmakers dragging their feet on funding transit and stopping the pending fare hikes and service cuts, join your fellow New Yorkers on Wednesday, March 18th in a day of action in our state's capital. We'll meet face-to-face with New York City lawmakers and you'll have a chance to tell them, "Fund transit now!" A bus will leave from Manhattan in the morning and will return in the early evening. Go to ga3.org/campaign/albany_2009 for details.

If you can't make it on Wednesday, you can take action right now by sending a message to Governor Patterson and your state representatives.

If you have time to send an even stronger message, pick up the phone, call State Senate leader Malcolm Smith at 212-298-5585 and tell him that he's responsible for shepherding this bill through the State Senate.

If one of these seven irresponsible State Senators represents you, be sure to give them a call and let them know how you feel about funding the MTA.
