(WNY News Now) – Governors Hochul and Murphy, alongside the Port Authority, propose a groundbreaking 50% fare reduction for PATH commuters with disabilities, set to launch in Summer 2025.
Governor Kathy Hochul, Governor Phil Murphy and The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced the proposal of a new reduced fare program for customers with disabilities using the PATH system. The 50 percent fare reduction would match the reduced fare program currently available for senior riders. If approved, riders could begin applying for the program in spring 2025, with the reduced fare implemented in the summer as PATH continues rolling out its TAPP tap-to-pay system.
“Easy access to convenient, reliable and affordable public transportation is a basic right that everyone should be able to enjoy,” Governor Hochul said. “With this new fare reduction for people with disabilities proposed by New Jersey Governor Murphy, the Port Authority and myself, I’m confident we are making that right to transportation even easier to enjoy.”…
