About Us

FightTheHike08.com is an initiative of Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr., NYC Councilman from the 32nd District in Queens.

Joe has been a lifelong resident of New York City and is concerned about the issues facing hard-working New Yorkers. The transit system is of vital importance to the city, and the impact of fare increases lands disproportionately on the very residents who, by working, make the city work.

Please join the FightTheHike08 campaign - by making our voices heard, we can stop the planned fare increases, while improving the quality of our transit service.
