(New York, NY – March 17, 2009) “Today’s Senate proposal is not a lasting solution, unlike the proposals from the Governor and the Assembly,” according to Environmental Defense Fund. 
 
“No lasting solution can give drivers a free pass while businesses and transit riders suffer,” said Mary Barber, managing director of Living Cities for Environmental Defense Fund. “Any real solution must address transit’s true financial needs, must not burden next year’s transit rider with this year’s problem, and must be fair.  We hope the Senate’s next proposal is a lasting solution.”

With more than 3 million members, Environmental Defense Fund creates transformational solutions to the most serious environmental problems. To do so, EDF links science, economics, law, and innovative private-sector partnerships to turn solutions into action. edf.org
