6/11/10 - Critical Budget Extender in Jeopardy |
|
Action Alert: Call Your Legislators to Preserve STOA
Critical Budget Extender in Jeopardy
The possibility of a cutoff of state spending and a partial government shutdown may become real as some members in the legislature may not vote for the next budget extender bill due Monday to keep the state functioning normally. We have been told that the next extender will include an additional $140-million in STOA allocations in addition to a number of unpopular cuts in human services programs and possibly revenue raisers such as an increase in the tobacco tax.
Beginning today until late Monday evening, it will be imperative that NYPTA members call their Senators and Assemblymembers and urge that they pass the upcoming extender bill as any protracted delay in service payments for public transportation systems may result in employee layoffs and/or additional service reductions. Rejecting these payments would also adversely impact the more than 8 million residents who uses these services on a daily basis and may result in increased demand on the State for unemployment benefits, social services and/or lost payroll and sales tax revenues.

Transit News Latest Headlines
New York's transit systems provide flexible mobility options for riders throughout the State—from the tip of Long Island, up through the Hudson Valley regions, in rural communities throughout the northern and central sections of the State, and all the way over to the western reaches of Buffalo and Niagara Falls.
Each day New York's transit systems carry people to jobs, shopping centers, healthcare, schools, tourist locations—and many other places in your community. By alleviating congestion, reducing vehicle emissions, and supporting a mobile society, transit benefits everyone across the State, both riders and non-riders.
The New York Public Transit Association (NYPTA) is a not for profit association devoted to advancing and supporting public transit providers and transportation development in New York State.
