Metropolitan Transportation Authority

Lobbying client

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is the state-chartered public authority that operates New York City's subway, buses, commuter rail lines (the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North), and the city's major toll bridges and tunnels. It has filed 27 lobbying disclosures since 2024 through Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner and Holland & Knight, focused on City Council land-use approvals for MTA development projects: the rezoning of the 125th Street Second Avenue subway terminus in East Harlem for a planned mixed-use tower with nearly 700 homes, and the de-mapping of street segments tied to the Jamaica Bus Depot redevelopment in Queens.

The organization's largest individual city payments (roughly $25,000 and up), grouped by purpose, to show what recent money was for. This is NOT a total — smaller payments aren't listed; see “Paid to date” above for the complete amount paid against its contracts. Fiscal years 2020 and later.
