MTA gives post-Sandy update
Metropolitan Transit Authority board member Allen Cappelli and Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis gave a quick update on the agencys post-Sandy recovery on December 5.
Damages from the storm will cost the MTA a whopping $5 billion, something that the state will eventually have to deal with, Malliotakis said.
We have to look for other sources of revenue and ways the state can assist the MTA so they dont have to continually go to the commuter to ask for more money, she explained, adding that the proposed toll and fare hikes are hurting residents.
