	Brooklyn Borough President
		With regard to MTA funding, sources include the federal government, New York State, New York City, New York City Transit riders, MTA Bridges and Tunnels users and miscellaneous taxes and revenues, such as a surcharge on the corporate income tax, real estate taxes and a quarter of a percent added to the sales tax.
		As MTA is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the subway, 64 years after the subway was unified and taken over by the City of New York, many of the barriers between the existing subway stations that existed then remain today.
		Economically, New York City has historically been viewed as creating one tenth of the nation’s output.

	Boston.com / Business / Technology / IBM Wins Deal to Manage NY Subway Computer System
		The MTA is made up of the New York City Transit Authority, which runs subways and buses; MTA Bridges and Tunnels; Long Island Rail Road; Metro North Railroad, and the Long Island Bus system.
		The agreement with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the nation's biggest transport system, calls for IBM to manage computer processing for subways and buses, commuter rail and bus lines and New York's bridges and tunnels.
		IBM's computer processing system will be located in a borough of New York City outside of Manhattan, IBM spokesman John Buscemi said.

	Improving customer service the E-Z way on toll bridges
		MTA Bridges and Tunnels, which manages the seven bridges and tunnels that connect the boroughs of the city and is the largest toll-collecting agency in the world, saw an opportunity in this early morning entanglement.
		Electronic toll-collection system eases congestion around New York City for many of the commuters who must travel between the boroughs of New York City each day.
		Some of the plazas are on two-levels, serving upper and lower sections of bridges.

	NYC Transit Fares Soar 33%, Bridge Tolls Only 14%. Non-polluting, space-saving transit riders socked while polluting, congestion-causing motorists continue to underpay.
		In New York City, transit riders are being hit with a mammoth fare hike just to maintain existing service, while most motorists on MTA bridges and tunnels continue to pay just $3 and the city's four East River bridges remain free, clogged and a drain on the City treasury.
		The Governor opposes the Mayor's goal of tolling the city's East River bridges for the same reason.
		The whole point of creating the MTA was to insulate elected officials from the political pain of toll and fare hikes.

	The Real Deal - MTA to sell $1B in land, including 5M sf on West Side
		According to a senior member of the real estate group, the MTA advertises available property in the local newspapers, such as the New York Post and New York Newsday, but there is no schedule or notification system for large-scale property disposals.
		The bill would have allowed the city council, community boards and the public to weigh in on the sale of the land, but the bill has languished in the Senate and is unlikely to pass, according to city and state officials.
		As detailed in their 2003 financial report, the MTA owns $124 million of land, and $10 billion in buildings and structures, both making up well over a third of the agency’s total fixed assets.

	Welcome to MTA Bridges and Tunnels
		Bridges and Tunnels evolved from the Triborough Bridge Authority, a public benefit corporation created by the New York State Legislature in 1933 to build the Triborough Bridge when the city's attempts were halted by the Depression.
		The authority's bridges and tunnels forged vital links among the city's boroughs, ultimately shaping regional travel and economic patterns.
		Triborough also built the Battery Parking Garage, the East Side Airlines Terminal, the Coliseum Office Building and Exposition Center, the Jacob Riis Beach Parking Field, and the Jacob Javits Convention Center, and it helped develop numerous parks around the city.

	TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES: Testimony: Metropolitan Transportation Authority Hearing on Proposed Toll Increases, NYC Transit Fare Hike and Service Cuts
		Today, I will focus on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) proposed toll increases on its bridges and tunnels, and the MTA's proposal to raise fares for New York City Transit Subway and Buses and reduce station staffing.
		The MTA should also increase the use of high-speed tolling and institute peak hour pricing on these bridges and tunnels.
		Furthermore, the MTA should support Mayor Bloomberg's proposal to toll New York City's East River Bridges.

	Gotham Gazette's Focus on the Feds: How the Federal Government Shapes NYC
		The obstacle operators like New York Waterways find when looking to do the longer routes that will have the greatest benefit to the region's traffic and pollution problems is that the fares becomes uncompetitive with the subway, Long Island Rail Road or even the tolls on the tunnels.
		But with the construction of a more extensive network of bridges and tunnels, service began to dwindle, and between 1967 and 1989, waterborne passenger transportation ceased to exist in the city.
		As long as the city sees fit to subsidize the operating costs of those providing service on the land, municipal leaders ought to have the vision to extend the same policy to those operating on the water.
