	Staten Island Live - Community - Verrazano
		The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, a suspension bridge spanning New York Harbor from Brooklyn to Staten Island, was built by Othmar H. Ammann from 1959 to 1964.
		MTA Bridges and Tunnels collected $192.8 million from vehicles crossing the Verrazano -- about 22 percent of an $884.4 million total for all of its crossings.
		The tolls and other matters concerning the bridge, as well as issues regarding the Staten Island Railway, subways and buses, are controlled by the MTA board, a 17-member panel appointed by various elected officials around the state.

	Henry Hudson Bridge (NY 9A)
		Originally painted in forest green to blend in with the hillsides, the bridge was painted in medium blue (this application painted in 1989) to blend in with the river.
		That is, the bridge had to earn as much as twice the amount necessary to pay the interest and amortized principal on the bonds.
		In 2000, MTA Bridges and Tunnels began a major rehabilitation of the Henry Hudson Bridge.

	Queens-Midtown Tunnel (I-495)
		Because the Manhattan side of the tunnel rises as a bluff overlooking the East River, it was not feasible to extend the line from the tunnel to Midtown streets on a short, direct course without either exceeding acceptable gradients or condemning significant rights-of-way.
		The roof of each tunnel, which is comprised of 930 concrete slabs (each slab 20 feet long and weighing eight tons), was to be suspended from steel brackets, and secured by giant steel anchors jammed deep into the concrete shell of the tunnel.
		MTA Bridges and Tunnels currently is studying the rehabilitation of the Second Avenue and 36th Street overpasses at the Manhattan tunnel approach.

	wcbstv.com - MTA Board Asks For 2 Fare Hikes
		MTA Executive Director Katherine Lapp presented the authority's preliminary 2007 budget at a board meeting this morning.
		Before the MTA Board meeting, the expectation was that because of higher-than-expected tax revenues, the MTA wouldn't need to raise fares and tolls until later next year -- if at all.
		Bus and subway fares and tolls on MTA bridges and tunnels were supposed to go up January 1, but in a nod to the increased tax revenues, the MTA proposed pushing the fare hike back to Sept. 1, 2007.

	Barry Drogin Projects for MTA Bridges and Tunnels
		In 1998, when I was presented a draft of MTA Bridges and Tunnels (a.k.a., Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority) 2000-2004 ITS Capital Program, I noticed a key component missing: a software integration project to bring all of the planned ITS deployments together into one emergency/incident management system.
		Each bridge and tunnel had its own traffic operations center (TOC) server, in case communications to the agency network was lost in an emergency, and the virtual TMC server on Randall's Island collated incident data into a facility-wide view, and interfaced to outside agencies for city-wide traffic management tasks.
		My title at MTA Bridges and Tunnels changed from ATMS Project Manager to ITS Project Manager when my entire division was moved from the Engineering and Construction Department to the Technology Department.

	MTR 462 - MTA Exceptionalism Considered
		The MTA claims barrier gates promote safety "because they force customers to slow down and look before proceeding" into the merge beyond the toll plaza.
		Regarding workers, fewer of them are needed to run and maintain high-speed facilities, which are generally constructed with pedestrian bridges or tunnels.
		Congestion at MTA facilities also appears to require the hiring and deployment of workers to direct traffic entering toll lanes.

	village voice > news > New York Subways and Terror: What, Us Worry? by Jarrett Murphy
		The MTA Police Department has grown substantially, increasing its patrols of MTA railroad stations and terminals and adding a K-9 unit with bomb-sniffing dogs.
		MTA Bridges and Tunnels has increased the size of its enforcement division and instituted checkpoints at bridge and tunnel entrances to check for suspicious packages.
		But since a terrorist plot against the MTA could consist of nothing fancier than a bomb in a backpack, the safety of the subways is as much about how the system would react to a crisis as whether it could prevent one.
