Members of the Senate Republican minority have introduced a detailed legislative package to address issues facing the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). The initiative aims to address problems such as financial mismanagement, dwindling passenger numbers, and rising crime rates on the subway system.

"The MTA has strayed from its core mission of providing safe, efficient, and reliable mass transit to our Hudson Valley residents and millions of other hardworking New Yorkers. My colleagues and I have proposed an innovative policy agenda that would put commuters and taxpayers first and finally get the beleaguered transportation agency back on track," stated Senator Rob Rolison.

The package is designed to reform the operations of the MTA to better serve New Yorkers, ensuring safe and efficient transit services. The legislators are focusing on bringing back focus on the agency's fundamental objectives, thereby supporting residents who rely on public transport.
