    EXCLUSIVE: City Council funds free OMNY cards for over 1,000 CUNY students in city budget deal

    The City Council allocated $1.4 million in a pilot program offering free OMNY cards to approximately 1,250 CUNY students, providing 75 free rides per semester. The funding combines $700,000 from the city and $700,000 from the state, targeting students taking at least two in-person classes who do not receive ASAP benefits. Council members emphasized reducing transit costs as a barrier to education.
