NEW YORK—Transportation advocates were divided on Monday over former Gov. David Paterson’s nomination to the MTA board.
“With another planned fare hike looming in January 2013, Paterson’s experience as a governor and state senator will prove critical to working with Albany lawmakers to find new funding for our transit system, sparing overburdened New Yorkers yet another fare hike,” said Paul Steely White, executive director of Transportation Alternatives, in a statement.
