The PCAC and its three Councils were established in 1981 to give voice to MTA riders in the formulation and implementation of MTA policy, and to hold the MTA Board and MTA management accountable to riders. In 2016, the PCAC and its three councils advised the MTA on the upcoming 2017 fare hikes, the need for LIRR’s Main Line Third Track Project, cross-honoring tickets during service-disruptions in the MNR service area, and to implement the Freedom Ticket Pilot Program by 2017. The councils also addressed various issues effecting MTA riders.
