NY Times Looks At Several Proposals To Fix MTA
The New York Times reports on five recommendations for ending the crisis of financial instability and transit ridership loss facing the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). Some of MTA’s current problems are directly related to the pandemic, but others have been lingering for decades. The Times notes, “But solutions are not simple: Some proposals are in direct opposition to others, with some experts suggesting cutting costs and others calling for greater investment. The contradictions underscore how complicated improving the vast system could be.”

The National Governors Association (NGA) published recommendations for taking advantage of the opportunities the IIJA affords state officials to use funds from four FAST Act programs for infrastructure workforce development. The recommendations emerged from a Policy Academy on Scaling Work-Based Learning and a subsequent initiative NGA undertook with Connecticut, Idaho, North Carolina and Oregon. Those four states “received technical assistance and engaged in peer learning” over the past year with the NGA Best Practices Center. In the article published yesterday, the center’s staff commented, “As states implement the IIJA, it will be critical that they ensure workers are equipped to participate successfully in the highway construction workforce and that education partners and the public workforce system understand employers’ talent needs. States that are considering leveraging FAST Act funds to develop their highway construction workforce may look to the strategies carried out in Idaho and Oregon as examples.”
