Hey Transit People: We've got to do better than 1 comment about PATH service cutsSubmitted by ffejie t3_111inw8 in jerseycity

OK, I'm as guilty as anyone: a keyboard warrior who complains about PATH service (especially nights and weekends) and then managed to not do anything about it.
This slide is taken from the Port Authority proposed budget here: Board / Committee Presentations & Transcripts (panynj.gov) which you can find under 2022 December.
Here's the problem: we have to submit comment to the Port Authority to get heard. Right now, they're saying only 1 person complained about weekend service on PATH. 1 person. ONE. They only got 18 total comments. So if you're reading this and agree, submit a public comment. We'll over run them with complaints about the weekend and night service.
There are a bunch of other informative slides (like this one about the passenger volume) being at 66% of the 2019 numbers, which I would attribute to both the loss of workers going into offices, but also the reduction in service.

Where and how do you submit a public comment to the Port Authority?

Looks like they are supposed to post proposals on this page. Not sure why there’s a bunch of old stuff posted there right now. https://publiccomments.panynj.gov/
Here’s where they solicited comments on the proposed budget, but the link is now stale: https://publiccomments.panynj.gov/proposed-budget/

Yeah this is a next year/next quarter issue at this point.
