Description

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is at a critical juncture. While ridership is up, delays are up as well. The latest Capital Plan is underfunded, and many of the systemäó»s riders can feel service declining. MTA needs more funding from every level of government. This report shows that New York Cityäó»s (NYCäó»s) contribution -- through its riders, drivers, resident and business taxpayers, and the City budget -- is far greater than most transit observers are aware of or have acknowledged. The report also examines the share of operating revenue collected by the MTA from non-city sources and shows that in FY 2014, NY State contributed only about 4% of the MTAäó»s budget. The counties in the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District make a disproportionately higher contribution to the MTA budget than those from surrounding areas that also heavily use the MTA. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
