Take Action!
Where are the hearings? Morristown will be at:
MORRISTOWN
Morristown Town Hall - Senior Community Center (3rd Fl.)
200 South Street, Morristown, NJ
on March 26, 2010 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
March 25, 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.: Paterson, Newark, Trenton, Manalapan
March 26, 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.: Secaucus, Morristown, Camden, Long Branch, New York City
March 27, 1 p.m. - 4 p.m.: Hackensack, Atlantic City, East Brunsick.
Attend a hearing: Get details on hearing times and places.
Speak out online: Comment on NJ Transit's plan (Use the Online Comment Form link).
We hope that you can join us at the hearings! State decision makers need to hear that this unfair plan will cause financial pain and make it harder to get around the state. We understand that taking time out from your day to speak at a hearing is a big commitment. Transit officials and politicians recognize this too, which is why attending hearings can make a big difference. Just ask New Yorkers-their transit agency just canceled a slew of planned service cuts after thousands of people spoke out.
Especially heinous are the cuts that will eradicate almost all NJ Transit Morris County buses. These buses provide the only transportation that some people are able to afford to get to college, work, social service agencies, food banks, abused women's shelters, the Morristown Hospital and their doctors. Please protest these service cuts.
If you can't make it, you can comment on NJ Transit's website until Monday, March 29.
Please help us send a message by attending a hearing or by speaking out online!
Thank you!

Morris County Local buses Discontinued!
The following Morris County Local buses operated by private carriers will be discontinued as of May 1, 2010:
-- MCM 1: Morristown to the Willowbrook Mall
-- MCM 2: Morristown to County College of Morris
-- MCM 3: Morristown, Morris Township to the Livingston, Short Hills malls
-- MCM 4: Dover to Honeywell campus, Morris Twp.
-- MCM 5: Morristown to Rockaway Townsquare mall
-- MCM 7: Milton to K-mart Plaza on Route 10, Victory Gardens
Three Morris/Warren Minibuses — 966, 973, 967 — will also be discontinued.
This is absolutely unfair to seniors and workers in the Morristown area. I am wondering if this is blowback from NJ Transit to Christie for the NJ Transit cuts. As usual, seniors and the working poor suffer. Here is the bus schedule and areas covered for these buses.
