mta. >> thank you. >> thank you. gretchen are we doing the awards? yeah, let's do it. all right. um. yeah, if you guys can give me a hand and folks, we're going to call your name and then you coming up. >> so jose castellanos, come on up. >> okay. houston forester manuel hernandez, sean menino. and last but not least, gretchen rude coming up. thank you for your leadership. gretchen thank you. members of the board. >> and we do oh, all right. you want to do it here? yeah. >> thank you, team. i'd now like to invite dianna to set us up to honor our merchandizing team. oh, awesome. >> well, that's a tough act to follow. >> well, good afternoon. board president kahana board members are director hirsch, ma'am. d.a.s ladies here if you don't know me already. i'm the interim director of external communications marketing and outreach. i've been doing this for a while with the agency for about 18 years in the same division. so i've seen most of the staff develop, grow, move up and expand in a variet

the mta has installed cameras so they can catch people. they're providing police.e national guard is in our system to make sure people pay their fare. >> reporter: kathy wild is president of the partnership for new york city, which mobilizes a business leaders to help the city thrive. she's a long-time advocate for congestion pricing and has advice for other american cities. >> you have to explain the benefits clearly. you have to have transit options in most cases. otherwise it's just another tax because if somebody has no choice, they're going resist. >> reporter: so other cities maybe have to work on that first? >> the lesson from london, they put in 200 new bus routes before they turned on congestion pricing. and that was how they got the public to accept it. they had a choice. >> reporter: it's hard to tell how it's working after a week, but -- >> we're very excited that in just a few days of congestion pricing, we're seeing a significant reduction in traffic already. >> reporter: yet the battle may not be over in new york. among its opponents, once and future

we are in service to the people the mta.or to clear the path and to create the shield so that staff feel like they've got the resources and the protection, particularly the political protection that they need to do their jobs and that they need to take risks. the greatest joy that i have experienced in this job is not going to ribbon cuttings. the greatest joy has been watching the extraordinary leadership and skill development that i see in every corner of this agency, the pride that people take in their work and their willingness to experiment, their collegiality, their eagerness to break down silos. this is an agency that is truly dedicated to service. so it is with tremendous honor and deep humility and wistfulness, but also an overflowing heart that i. i find myself here with my term of service rendered complete, and that is also made possible by the fact that i am completely confident in everyone in this agency being ready to step it up, and most particularly our current director of transit, julie kirschbaum, who i wil

if we hadn't had that strike, arguably, we would not have created the mta and eventually refunded the transit system. but that course, that transit strike was mike quill's strike. he was the head of the transport workers union in a much more complex man that i think history gives him credit for. he really understood the subtlety of the changing political environment that of the things that lindsay ran and won on was. he wanted to end the old machine politics way of things lindsay in many ways was a candidate who wanted to reduce the of the public sector labor unions. one of the reasons the police didn't like him was he wanted police to work more hours at night. you know, very reasonable. an era of rising but he wasn't able to accomplish so just seeing how mike quill kind of saw this as labor's last stand against a technocratic governor in an that would become a a era more skeptical of labor unions and realizing if we go along with this will be going along for things forever. so he refused to go along and that's kind of when the split of weakening private sector unions and strengthenin

this year, i'm backing an mta capital plan.e must end decades of failure, to make the hard but necessary investments in this critical infrastructure. because if we come up short, the future of our transit system and the economic strength of our state could be jeopardized. and we can't talk about the future without talking about education. it is the great equalizer unlocking opportunity for all. [applause] while he worked at the steel plant, my dad's college degree lifted my family out of poverty and opened doors to better paying jobs. and working with the legislature -- again i thank you -- over the last two years, we've more than doubled tuition assistance at suny and cuny and expanded eligibility. and now, we're going even bolder, we're going to make community college completely free for students ages 25-55, completely free, everything, books, transportation, for those who enter high-demand fields like advanced manufacturing, health care and education, we have so many vacancies. think about this -- if you want to change jobs,

he was the mta's first leader. i mean, the was, you know, 12 years old or 14 years old by then. who actually had a he had enough capital built up in terms of being a credible person in going to the community, having personal wealth in that if he not get the political support that needed from the governor who appointed him, he could walk away from the job and going to business leaders, real estate leaders, financial leaders in going to the media and saying we need to enact taxes on businesses. so we can rebuild this subway system from decades of decay and neglect if we don't rebuild the subway system, we are not going to be able to rebuild our cities tax base from the decline of the 1970s. but many people it's not to take away from -- ravitch very real accomplishments, but he could not have done this if weren't for governor hugh carey. he could only be independent because let him be in dependent. and i think that's important for people to think about sometimes governor or mayor is just appointing having a broad strategy laid out in let them do they need to do to accomplish that s

as far as using the mta, it's a great system but a lot of people use mta without paying is another thinghat we've noticed we've got to crack down on that because this isn't this is an enterprise to a certain tent and it needs to function like one as well. thank you much paul mcclain the gasket and and with that madam chair we have no further speakers. >> thank you. seeing no more public comment public comment is now close colleagues i would first like to make the motion to amend and increase of the dollar to additional $276,000 and striking out language mentioning any language mentioning ambassador and also just want to be clear that with that because it's an increased dollar amount it will have to be continue for one more week of discussion and so it will be continued to the next week. so i am doing few things i'm amending it increase dollar amount to additional 276 i'm striking language in any mention of ambassador and that i am also continued as item to next board meeting and with that motion a roll call please. >> and on that motion to amend the ordinance to increase the amount as st

in addition, the mta needs a full audit and the mta needs to have a complete overhaul starting withagement. janno lieber needs to go. the fact that this guy was celebrating the start of congestion price on top of a cherry-picker the other day, as if, you know, for some bizarre reason he thought as an unelected bureaucrat that he should be celebrating fleecing hardworking new yorkers of their money, it's bizarre. >> all right. a lot there. your response? he also called the congestion price a scam on new yorkers. >> listen, this is -- this is grievance politics, not substance politics. i would say, you know, 80% of hauler's constituents actually ride mass transit to get -- 1% of his constituents actually commute to the central business district and pay the toll. this is a great grievance politics issue, but if he were interested in substance -- i went to that guy and said, can you help us? you're in the majority, sir, can you help us get more money out of congress? all his words about new york gets is 45% of the mass transit riders in the united states, we get 17% of the federal money

. >> okay, look, what is the mta saying? you said that there are some people with concerns, right?hinking that this could cause accidents. i'm sure they voiced this. what are they saying in response? >> yeah, mta said they're going to be rolling out new messaging discouraging drivers from swerving into the bike lane when they approach this thing. this is also a trial program, and they're evaluating whether or not it works. and then we'll make a decision on whether or not to keep it. come summer, okay. >> whether it's this or something else, explain to our viewers who may not live in the city, why slower streets or safer streets, anyhow, is such a pressing concern. >> yeah, i think following the slow streets program in the early pandemic, many residents want to see safer streets for people on bikes and on foot, and especially on kirkham, which is a major thoroughfare in the sunset that people use to get to 19th avenue. there's concern about cars speeding, running stop signs, especially for people in the neighborhood with children. they want to be assured that their streets are safe.

the mta says they're seeing people, more people using subways and about a 10% increase right now.plaining that it's too congested in the subway and that the mta didn't dot right thing by having more considers available for people taking the subway now that they've put this congestion price out there. stuart: i don't know what new york will do. the subway system, transportation system desperately needs money and people are not using the subways and picked up now. what else are they going to do? >> i don't know but new yorkers are upset with the mta and feels like it's a big bureaucratic abyss of waste and the money giving them would be spent proper and she go right ahead and new yorkers are a little leery. stuart: tired of mismanagement. like los angeles. >> everybody looking at new york city seeing how it goes and new york, dc, boston and chicago and we have eyes of the world looking to see how congestion pricing takes off here. stuart: new york city shutting down 13 more migrant shelters and going to shut them down by june and less demand for them. in general terms, what's your j

>> they need the money for the mta. it is supposedly raising $50 million a year.tely feel okay for the city doing this. >> what type of improvements would be made to the mta? >> regular service that is completely reliable. teleportation. >> teleportation is actually way more likely than the regular service. >> the first thing i would love to fix is that we have lights everywhere. i don't have to be afraid to walk in the dark, when i get off of work at night. i would also like to have them have some people maybe help the people that i see walking around naked. >> i am very sorry about that. that was me and that was a hot day. >> they could do something like some glade plug-ins in the subway cars, that will be a huge improvement right there. >> i am guessing because of the crime rate in the subway, that is not the number one priority is my guess. >> but if i'm being mugged on the subway and it also stinks? that is two bad things happening to me at the same time. i want to get rob somewhere clean. >> i think hygiene is important. >> one of my biggest hopes is that wi

it took the creation of the mta inhe 1968. funding was did not come until the early 1980s the decreasing crime on the transit system which should not come until the early 1990s before he had ast transit system that people actually wanted to use. all of those things that the stage for what the blue administration tried to do in 2007, 2008. that was also necessary a mayor who was committed to this idea but also not sufficient politics, governor power in new york state. if the governor is not only opposed to pricing, but not willing to put his or her political capitol behind congestion pricing is still does not happen. that is what we see today. governor hochul i inherited this a lot from the previous governor it was never her project. overall she is been a week at governor on many, many issues. we will see if she turns her onr paws on congestion pricing. if so this will be something that was again half a century in the making. >> what is your prediction if it does come to pass this will be groundbreaking. i will be at high stand

in addition, the mta needs a full audit and the mta needs to have a complete overhaul, starting withating the start of congestion pricing on top of the cherry picker the other day as if for some bizarre reason he thought as an unelected bureaucrat he should be celebrating the policing of hard-working new yorkers for their money, it is bizarre. there are a lot of ways to fund its operations and capital improvements but $2500 annually ? >> mike lawler of new york, thank you for being with us. we look forward to you coming back announcing a run for governor. when is that going to be? >> we will look midsummer. we will see what happens. >> we hope to have you on many times before then but you can make the announcement here. thank you so much, congressman. we appreciate it. really quickly, the congressman talked about the bronx and how the redirection of traffic could actually add personal impact to the healthcare of the people in the bronx. i'm curious, what are your thoughts? what is your organization's thoughts on this? every new yorker has an opinion. >> it has been mixed. i have talk

important transit was to the city and if we hadn't had that strike arguably, we would not have created the mta and eventually refunded the transit system, but that of course, the transit strike was mike quill's strike and head of the transport worker's's union in a much more complex man than i think history gives him credit for. he really understood the subtleties of the changing political environment and wanted to end the old machine politics way of doing things. lindsey in many ways was a candidate who wanted to reduce the power of the public sector labor unions and one of the reasons tech no cat ick garner in the era that's more spectacle of labor unions and realizing if we go along with this and we're going along with things forever and he refused to go along and that's kind of when the split of weakening private sector unions and strengthening public sector unions really began. he was much more than the sort of, you no, telling the judge to drop dead. public law enforcement and the set of laws from which the city operates and when it comes to what does this lane of the street belong to, t

this is what really kills me. $750 million the mta lost in fare beating. 750 million.ir number. yet they are instituting congestion pricing to raise $5 hundred million. if you just let the system work the way it is designed to work and we use the laws on the books, you wouldn't be in this congestion pricing boondoggle that is so unpopular it will spell the end of hochul's accidental political career as governor. >> bill: we'll see. thank you, paul. >> president biden: shock and pain is still so very raw. my wife jill and i are here to stand with you, agree with you, pray with you. >> dana: president biden joins hundreds in mourning over the 14 victims of the terror attack in new orleans. trump's request to delay his case in new york is shut down by judge merchan. andy mccarthy will be here next. when you live with diabetes, progress is... having your coffee like you like it without an audience. ♪ [silence] the freestyle libre 3 plus sensor tracks your glucose in real time so everyone else doesn't have to, and over time it can help lower your a1c confident choices for m

days after maniac stabbed these two riders, the mta pot said subway it is all in your head.rd this before, it is the inflation story and how you feel about the high prices. no, crying is helping people are terrified to go get in the subways. >> that is exactly right. but they are doing is playing games with numbers appear to they are aggregating the crimes together to say overall crime is down even though felony assaults are up. sexual assaults are up and homicide on the subway system at significantly. they are manipulating the time frame looking year-over-year, okay, sure crime is that mike has decreased on the subways this year compared to last year but how does it compare to 2019 or 2017 question mark the recent past where new yorkers have grown accustomed to a much safer subway system? those deteriorations and public order and crime statistics, the things we see and confront that don't make their way to the crime statistics which is another problem which create fear. and i think it is counterproductive tactic to tell new yorkers disbelieve their lying eyes. but is not he

to the mta chief. there is a basic calculation and politics.true. the basic thing people ask in an election, do you see me, and do you hear me? people are seeing things on television in the news media about what is happening in our subways. i think dana made it as well. early on, six months ago, they should have been beefing up security in our subway, letting people see their commitment and see the outcomes of those things that we are doing. maybe people wouldn't mind as much spending a little more, paying more. that is what it is going to translate into. we have not checked any of those boxes. i am a believer that politicians should swing for the fences. trying to solve something here. they have gotten off to a pretty bad start. the people who are supposed to benefit from this don't agree with this. the people who are opposed to this can even imagine let alone envision how they are going to benefit from this. we are off to a bad start. we as a city because i'm paying these taxes as well. make my subway savior. that will make me want to be more

mta task projects, the street closures, those situations, you know, like situations like madrone andloma. on page 20, vicente island, someone installed, i guess road closures without the city's approval. does that happen a lot? i would imagine it does. it does. this is a carry over from the safe and slow streets often. yeah. once that designation occurs, the people who live in the neighborhood kind of take it on themselves to fortify and barricade the street a little more than is warranted or authorized by the city. there are other streetscape changes that were authorized by the city and mta, and weren't necessarily approved by the fire department. that still come through time to time, particularly in the in the mission district. but again, as i've said at our previous meetings, we have a much better working relationship with mta and with task, and we're trying to get the processes of approval in the same way that the fire marshal has permitting down to an administrative process. we're trying to have less conflict by agreeing on design principles with the mta so that there there isn'

so public works inspection services puc and mta design review services etc.these budgets are are fully billable to to cd within this category our expenses in 2324 were 1.7 below our established budget or 27% below our established budget for fiscal year 25 and we expect our final expenditures within the current fiscal year 25 to be similarly below budget. there will be a ramp up this spring in the stage two work as i discussed earlier but the state that increase of of activity going into next year and the increase in hourly wages for city departments which make up the bulk of the city cost budget we don't believe that an increase in the city cost budget is warranted in fiscal year 26 at this time. so we're holding the city cost budget flat in our projections for fiscal year 26 and 27 other than some minor adjustments in anticipated costs associated with the administrate ation of the community facilities district which is actually reimbursable from the proceeds of the community facility district rather than billable to the developer. so the costs that are billa
