The T Riders Union (TRU), a core committee of ACE, organizes public transit riders to build a unified voice and movement for better public transportation in Greater Boston, Together, we develop and implement strategies to improve the quality of public transit. Our focus is on transit dependent communities – neighborhoods that are predominantly people of color and/or lower income, where riders are likely to not own cars and therefore depend on public transit to get to work, school, recreation, or shopping.

We have joined together to demand our fair share of service because the MBTA and the state have failed to meet the needs of riders in low income neighborhoods and neighborhoods of color. Buses are unreliable, crowded and slow, and continue to pollute the air we breathe with dirty diesel exhaust.

Every rider has a place in our monthly meetings. We ask that you share your experiences on the T as well as your concerns and your ideas with TRU so that we can build our own power to win improvements and the first class service we all deserve.

TRU members are working to inform the public about the fare hikes and service cuts the MBTA will be implementing unless state legislators work to fix the MBTA's debt. You can help by reading and sharing this flyer:
