The MTA Board will consider changes to the MTA's fares and tolls over the next two months (please see attached notice for details or visit the webpage at the link: changes to the MTA's fares and tolls).

Members of the public may also comment at the MTA’s public hearings, which will be in a hybrid format allowing for remote access via Zoom and in-person access at MTA headquarters at 2 Broadway.

Hybrid public hearings

The MTA will hold four hybrid public hearings on the proposed fare changes:

All public hearings will be held in person at MTA Headquarters, 2 Broadway, 20th Floor – William J. Ronan Board Room.
