This study explores opportunities to establish and expand partnerships with private enterprise in New York's transit business. A future-oriented, 'where do we go from here' discussion would not be possible if the management and employees of the New York City Transit Authority (TA) had not succeeded in restoring safe, clean, and increasingly reliable service to the public. The luxury of looking beyond the crisis conditions that existed just a few years ago is a tribute to the efforts of New York's transit community and officials at the Federal, State, City, and borough levels who support them. After a long period of decline, the subways and buses of New York are making a comeback. The challenge now is to translate the TA's successes in physical reconstruction into a long-term business that becomes increasingly self-sufficient.
