The vast majority of students take public transit to get to school – but the current student OMNY program traps young New Yorkers at the turnstile!
About the Campaign
Under the current program, many students are excluded from receiving a Student OMNY card because they live too close to school or receive yellow bus service – even though they still rely on transit for access for internships, extracurricular activities, and their daily lives.
Students who qualify are still limited to only four rides a day and may face difficulty with card deactivation or reliably getting a new one.
The Expand Student OMNY campaign is asking for:
Universal Access
Unlimited Rides
Fair Communication around Deactivations
A Faster, More Reliable Replacement Process
