STRAPHANGER'S CAMPAIGN

Through the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), the Straphangers Campaign received a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to “launch a new in-depth effort to measure the quality of the transit service.” The goal was to accurately report on the condition of the City’s transit system and to draw media, public and governmental attention to the need to continue to invest in transit.
