Lobby will feature a Transportation Science & Technology Fair and an MTA Career Fair

As the region grows in population and concerns mount about global warming and U.S. energy dependence, what will the transportation network look like 40 years from now? How will the ambitious plans laid out for system expansion –- from a full-length Second Avenue Subway to the extension of the 7 line to greater interconnectivity between the region’s railroads –- be funded in an era of escalating construction costs?

Find out March 3 when Elliot G. Sander, executive director and CEO of the MTA, presents the first State of the MTA address to reflect on the organization’s progress, present his vision for its future, and describe the funding challenges ahead.
