Overview

Mission

To build the power of public transit riders in New York and organize them into an active and effective force; advocate for reliable, affordable, and world-class public transit; engage in legislative and policy advocacy to hold public officials and agencies accountable to riders; promote civic engagement and participation among transit riders, particularly those from historically marginalized communities; undertake activities that advance the social welfare of transit rideres and support a more just and sustainable city; and conduct any and all lawful activities that may be necessary or useful for the accomplishment of the foregoing purposes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and liabilities are high compared with assets.
