For over 40 years PCAC has represented MTA riders. Since being established by the State Legislature in 1981 it served as the umbrella organization of the three MTA Rider Councils. The PCAC advises the MTA on behalf of the riders in the formulation and implementation of MTA policy and works to hold the MTA accountable to the riders. In 2017, the PCAC and its three councils advised the MTA on the Subway Action Plan, the MTA’s rising debt level, the Subway Performance Dashboard, LIRR’s Main Line Third Track project, and MNR’s communication during storms.
