Dump Diesel Buses Now!
The MTA's five year spending
plan includes the purchase of 700 new diesel buses. This is wrong. Even the

asthma and lung cancer. The Natural Resources Defense Council estimates that
diesel emissions cause 4,000 premature deaths in the city each year.
Now is the time to stop the MTA once and for all from purchasing new diesel
buses.
Don't wait - send the
enclosed postcard today.
