Why would the MTA want to subsidize anybody's driving? A free pass to use the subways and Metro-North lines would be plenty valuable and wouldn't undermine the purpose of the MTA.

Offhand, I can't think of a single thing for which EZ Pass is used that falls under MTA jurisdiction. Am I missing something? This sounds totally nuts. What does the MTA have to do with EZ Pass?
