Statement from MTA Chair and CEO Lieber on the Passing of Michael Hardy

"All of us at MTA are saddened to hear of the passing of Michael Hardy, who was a singular figure alongside Rev. Al Sharpton in the civil rights movement for decades. In addition to his enduring work at the National Action Network, Michael was a valued member of the MTA's Blue-Ribbon Panel on Fare and Toll Evasion, bringing important perspective and legal expertise to creating a fairer and more affordable transit system for all New Yorkers. May his memory be a blessing."
