Regional Plan Association of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut has mapped out the impact of all MTA's service cuts for every State Assembly and Senate district in the region. There's also an interactive Google Map.
Regional Plan Association has released a comprehensive list of the MTA's proposed service cuts by Assembly and Senate districts. The release culminates months of efforts to map the impacts of the MTA's budget crisis throughout the region and compliments a recently-released interactive map of service cuts. When meeting with individual lawmakers this winter, RPA and other groups working in coalition with the Empire State Transportation Alliance presented each legislator with a personalized map to underscore the impacts their district may face if a stable source of new revenue for the transit system is not agreed upon.
