The New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority, along with its affiliate and subsidiary agencies, discontinued it membership with the American Public transportation Association.
In a seven-page letter to APTA President and CEO Michael Melaniphy on April 8, 2016, the MTA outlines the basis for the decision to terminate the membership in a unanimous opinion of the MTA executive leadership team.
The letter outlines the MTA's concerns of why APTA is not worth their investment.
