It is a very convoluted situation, the MTA is actually a public benefit corporation created to manage the affairs of various agencies. In the case of NYCHA, the individual NYCHA projects are not separate legal entities, (with the exception of a few they manage but don't own)whereas in the MTA case, for legal reasons many of the pieces are still legally separate and have different labor contracts, different access to fed funding methods, and especially who pays the bills. NYC does not contribute to certain operations or capital projects. BC gets fed funded buses, NYCTA usually doesn't. MTA has a police force, but NYPD patrols the subways and NYC bus routes, except for an occasional bus lane run by MTA PD (combo of MNRR/LIRR/SIRTA pd)In most cases, the legal entities still exist. MTA BC is not civil service, NYCTA is. Think about why MABSTOA existed. |
