Join us for a conversation with Janno Lieber, Chair and CEO of the Metropolitan Transportation Agency (MTA) and 92NY CEO Seth Pinsky, exploring the state of public transportation in New York.
New York City’s MTA is the largest public transportation system in the United States and one of the largest in the world. While the MTA has over 4 million riders every day, the pandemic caused a sharp decline in ridership and current numbers have only returned to about 60% of pre-pandemic levels. With challenges to safety, ridership, and operating budget, what does the future of MTA look like and what does this mean for New York City?
Journalists Nicole Gelinas, Errol Louis, and Brigid Bergin will then bring their insightful perspectives to the table as they engage in a dynamic unpacking of the issues discussed. Together, they will explore current challenges to the public transportation system, and what innovation and investment in public transportation infrastructure can mean for New York City and the world.
