Statement from MTA Chief, Policy and External Relations John J. McCarthy on Inaccurate and Nonsensical Comments Made by Member of Congress

"Janno Lieber rides the transit system every single day and everybody knows that, except for Gottheimer, a politician nobody’s ever seen on mass transit. The MTA has soaring reliability and satisfaction ratings, all while balancing its financial plan with a half billion dollars in annual savings from efficiencies. Meanwhile, Gridlock Gottheimer stays in his traffic-congesting chauffeured car doing nothing to improve transit in New Jersey, and instead sticks its riders—who got stranded again on the way home last night—with a 15% fare hike."

Additional Information:

Janno Lieber is not assigned an MTA vehicle and leaves security determinations to professionals at MTAPD.
