MTA has huge budget gap, report findsAccording to a new report released by State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli Wednesday, he's got a huge budget gap to fill.
' The report says paid ridership in June 2024 was at 70% of pre-pandemic levels, but it didn't grow at the expected pace in July and August. It also blames the $15 billion funding shortfall created by the pause on congestion pricing, saying the MTA is relying on future funding from the state which is not clear if it'll fill that gap. 'In fairness, those are the exact same risks that we identified in our budget presentation,' MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said.
