About the MTA
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is North America's largest transportation network, serving a population of 15.3 million people across a 5,000-square-mile travel area surrounding New York City, Long Island, southeastern New York State, and Connecticut. The MTA network comprises the nation’s largest bus fleet and more subway and commuter rail cars than all other U.S. transit systems combined.
Our strategic priorities
We are committed to maintaining a transit system that is safe, reliable, and accessible for all. We’re investing in systemwide improvements that will keep our transit system running smoothly for decades to come. And we’re continuously working on ways to improve our own operations in ways that support our core values of equity, accessibility, sustainability, and cost-consciousness.
Who we are
The MTA family includes 70,000 employees in a variety of positions, from bus and train operators to engineers, accountants and policy experts. If you're interested in working for the MTA, you can find more information and job listings in our Career Center.
The Authority is led by Chair and CEO Janno Lieber, along with a world-class management team. Learn more about our executive leadership.
The MTA is governed by a 23-member Board. Voting members are nominated by the governor, New York City's mayor, and the county executives of the counties serving the MTA's service area.
Agencies and departments
The MTA's operating agencies are New York City Transit, Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North Railroad, and Bridges and Tunnels. Construction & Development supports these agencies by identifying, developing, and building the capital infrastructure projects needed to renew and enhance the MTA’s extensive assets.
