New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced a historic nomination for the new chair of the MTA. If confirmed, Sarah Feinberg would be the first woman to head North America’s largest public transit system.
Feinberg would replace the MTA’s current chair Patrick Foye who is now CEO of Empire State Development. Before, Feinberg led the Federal Railroad Administration and New York City Transit.
Feinberg said there should be no higher priority than ensuring to bring ridership back to help the city’s economic recovery. Ridership for the MTA dropped more than 90% during some points of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority said its public vaccination program will be extended through this week at Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal.
The program has administered more than 10,000 vaccinations at locations through New York City, Long Island and the Hudson Valley since opening earlier this month.
The agency said bringing the vaccine to where people are passing daily has made it possible for thousands to get vaccinated.
Anyone, whether a New Yorker, out-of-state commuter or tourist, is eligible to receive the vaccine at either location.
