Founded in 1965, the MTA has grown to employ approximately 70,000 people in a variety of positions, ranging from bus and train operators to engineers, accountants, and policy experts. The agency operates through several subsidiaries, including New York City Transit, Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North Railroad, and MTA Bridges and Tunnels.
