MBTA-related open forum at the MAPC website

There's been an outcry over proposed MBTA fee hikes and services cuts that the agency says are necessary to close a $161 million budget gap next year.

So what would you do?

The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) created an online 'Fix the T' calculator at http://fixthet.mapc.org that allows residents to choose how they would make up the MBTA's current shortfall.

Included are fare hikes and service cuts initially proposed by the MBTA; options presented by the MBTA Advisory Board; and others.

According to a release from the MAPC, the MBTA is preparing to adopt a budget by April 15.

"MAPC created this budget calculator to collect these ideas in one place and give people an opportunity to come up with their own plan," the release said. Even better, the website includes a link that allows users to share their ideas with their legislators."

Visit http://fixthet.mapc.org to try your hand at fixing the MBTA’s budget and tell us the solutions you came up with in the comments below.
