In the summer of 2019, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo and the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) announced a new campaign to stop fare evasion, including plans to hire 500 new police officers. What’s fare evasion? Who gets policed and prosecuted for fare evasion? What does public transit for all look like?

In the fall of 2019, CUP collaborated with Teaching Artist Stephen Kwok and public high school students from Life Sciences Secondary School to investigate the crackdown on fare evasion and its impact on local communities. Students installed public artwork, surveyed community members, and interviewed key stakeholders working on the issue.

The crew gathered what they learned and created this foldout poster to teach others about the issue.
