New York Transit Museum🎂 Happy Birthday, @[email protected]! #TodayInHistory: #OnThisDay in 1968, the New York State Legislature created the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to oversee transportation operations in twelve counties as the parent agency of the New York City Transit Authority. The MTA turns 58 today.
🎬 This 1989 #NYTMCollection archival video clip comes from the finale of "Progress in Motion," narrated by actor Avery Brooks. The film describes the advances made by the MTA's agencies since its 1982 and 1987 Capital Plans brought billion dollars of investment into #NYC's transportation system.
