The management of the MTA needs to change with the changing complexities of today's New York City. We are bursting at the seems in population yet we have not expanded infrastructure other than the 2nd Avenue Subway and the 34th Street extension. We need a 21st century subway system to alleviate costs on the people and enhance our commute. A 21st century Bridge policy as well. Make the unelected board accountable to the people.

I am a 39 year old born and raised Brooklynite who moved to the Midwest last year. One of the top line reasons for the move was the unending increase in living costs, highlighted by the unreasonable hike to cross the Verrazano into Staten Island. I miss my friends, I miss my family but don't miss paying $17 to get west of Brooklyn.

Far too long residents of STATEN ISLAND/BROOKLYN have taken the brunt of the MTA /VZ bridge tolls and traffic. Toll hikes keep going up by service continues to go down. Where does all the money go and what other MTA transit services are subsidized by the VZ money?

Outright extortion, no public accounting, no disclosure, anti-trust to commerce and free passage. Hikes never add up and are completely unilateral against the working class.

It would be great to be able to visit family on Staten Island with out braking the bank.
This is the type of issue I love Liam McCabe for. He knows what is needed and is proposing a great solution

I'm not sure electing the board members will solve the problem but certainly the current system isn't working as they keep raising tolls without any apparent concern for the users of the thoroughfares they put the tolls on.

There is no way you can justify to us that the constant increase to the cost of maintenance of the Verrazano Bridge unless you are taking these toll monies and spending them on other projects

These tolls are confiscatory and should be drastically reduced. When this bridge was built the public was told that tolls were temporary until the bridge was paid for. Ha! One day there will be a tax, toll and fee revolt in this state and all the politicians responsible will be fired.
