Maher Calls for Forensic Audit of MTA Amid Fiscal Mismanagement Concerns
March 4, 2025
“The MTA’s financial mismanagement is unacceptable. Reports of $800 million lost to fare evasion, $5 billion in unpaid tolls, and falsified inspection records make it clear that this agency is failing taxpayers. Instead of demanding another commuter tax, the MTA must be held accountable for its reckless spending and lack of transparency. A full forensic audit is not just necessary—it’s long overdue. New Yorkers deserve to know where their money is going and that their hard-earned dollars are being spent responsibly.”
