“Mass transit is our future, and as New York City continues to grow and evolve, we need to fundamentally transform the City’s transportation infrastructure to meet the changing needs of New Yorkers and remain competitive in the 21st Century. For years, Tom Prendergast has proven to be an effective leader who brings a unique, deep understanding of MTA operations and can build upon the progress achieved by his predecessors. From expanding Select Bus Service routes to the extension of the Number 7 train, the City has worked collaboratively and successfully in the past with Tom, and we look forward to continuing the relationship.”
