Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2022.An MTA board member railed against lawbreaking motorists during a meeting Tuesday as his luxury car was illegally parked right in front of the agency’s lower Manhattan headquarters.
Mack, 81, said through a spokesperson that an MTA employee gave him permission to park in the spot because he has health issues and cannot walk from a nearby garage. MTA officials confirmed Mack parked illegally, and said no one at the agency has authority over street parking spaces, which are regulated by the city.
The parking job happened as Mack decried bad behavior by motorists during a meeting of the MTA’s bridges and tunnels committee. He called for the agency to hire more police officers to crack down on drivers who obscure their license plates to evade tolls. Mack left the spot Tuesday afternoon, and a delivery van later took the place of his Lexus. Unlike Mack’s car, the van was issued a parking ticket.Stephen Nessen
Obviously the man knows of what he speaks.
These ppl suck . This is why the mta is run so poorly. A leftover Corrupt Cuomo lackey by any chance?

sociopath behavior
This guy has been on the board since Mario Cuomo was in office. What has he accomplished in that time for riders?
LOL shouldn't he be using public transit?! Get rid of this loser!
The MTA is for peasants not board members.
Classic NYC petty corruption.
