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!
