Finally, in related news, elected officials are starting to join our call for a virtual hearing option for the March 2024 fare hike meetings. New Jersey Senate Republicans issued a press release and started their own petition echoing our calls for a virtual hearing option last week.
Please help build on this momentum. If you have not already done so, please reach out to your state, county and municipal elected officials (regardless of party affiliation) and encourage them to support our efforts.
Thanks,
Adam
