Multimedia Faces of Transit
|
Who are the Faces of Transit? They are the riders relying on affordable, efficient public transportation to get where they need to go. They are people with disabilities who can get to work and needed services because of the mobility public transit affords them. They are the businesses relying on transit to transport their employees and customers. They are New Yorker's who may never ride a bus but benefit from the services public transit provides to their fellow citizen's. These are the Faces of Transit. Faces of Transit exist in every corner of the state, and are served by every public transit system. |

Switching to public transit can reduce your daily carbon emissions by 20 pounds; that’s more than 4,800 pounds a year!
That's more than all of these combined:
- using energy-efficient light bulbs
- adjusting thermostats
- weatherizing your home
- using a high efficiency refrigerator
