Administrative History
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority was established in 1965 as the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority in order to regulate and subsidize commuter railroads in the New York City metropolitan area. It assumed its current name in 1968, when it assumed responsibility for the operations of the New York City Transit Authority and the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority. It is responsible for developing and implementing a unified public transportation policy for the five boroughs of New York City and the counties of Dutchess, Nassau, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Suffolk, and Westchester. It also provides transit service to two southeastern Connecticut counties on a contractual basis.
