Instead of a regular issue of ETW this week, we have a special edition focusing on the changes that the 9.11 attacks brought to transportation, assembled by my colleague @profplotch with tons of expert content: enotrans.org/eno-transportat…

The two most important books written on the political economy of New York remain @profplotch on the Tappan Zee and SAS. They offered intimate portraits of Cuomo operating, but also the dysfunction of NYS. Federalizing Gateway and allowing Byford to operate is a good decision.

Here's @profplotch arguing that for all its flaws, the MTA's current governance model actually makes sense. vitalcitynyc.org/articles/ha…
"If the subways could not tap into the tax revenue from wealthy suburban residents or the toll revenue generated by the city’s bridges and tunnels, they would face an immediate and insurmountable financial crisis."
.@andrewcuomo repeats that he would propose the city takes over the management of the MTA, which is run by the state.
"The MTA is too big to be able to manage the transit authority, effectively, let the mayor, manage the New York City Transit Authority," he says.

Read @profplotch on MTA governance and why it makes more sense than you might think: vitalcitynyc.org/articles/ha…

Of course the bigger issue is operational. We see with the failure of East Side Access, and the inability of the agencies and railroads to work together. @profplotch wrote two great books on the Tappan Zee and 2nd Ave Subway that touched on these operational issues.
