Abstract

The President of the New York City Transit Authority gives an inside look at the changes and future plans taking place to clean-up and enhance the entire New York City transit system. Beginning with the creation of a management structure working toward the good of the whole system through interdepartmental communications, to a graffiti clean-up program, to the ordering of new cars, rebuilding of existing cars, better training programs, and line extensions, this ambitious 10 year plan shows promise although it still has a long way to go towards making this, one of the largest metros in the world, a clean, safe and reliable system.
