The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) is an independent corporation rather than a government organization, and it runs the public transportation system in New York City and the surrounding areas. Which of the following describes a challenge that is likely to result based on the way this agency is structured?

The MTA has the power to make spending decisions but not the power to tax the region’s residents, which prevents it from generating sufficient income.

The MTA is controlled by the state government, rather than the city government, which results in bureaucratic delays when the state and city disagree

The MTA has the power to use income generated from the city’s infrastructure budget if the city agrees with how the funds will be used, which results in funding delays.

The MTA is accountable to New York City but not the state of New York, which creates unclear lines of accountability and a lack of cooperation between the city and the state.

The MTA’s decisions are influenced more by its board of directors than by governmental officials, which results in excessive fares and administrative charges.
