Clearing out an item from the past week, the MTA announced on Friday, June 12, that Ira R. Greenberg of Sunnyside, New York, has begun his term on the MTA Board. Greenberg joins the board at the behest of the Long Island Rail Road Commuters Council and will sit on the Long Island Rail Road/Long Island Bus Committee. He is a non-voting member tasked to serve on the board until Jan. 1, 2013. He carries with him a background in transportation policy and has long been a supporter of the East Side Access project. Greenberg sounds as though he is a highly qualified representative, and the MTA Board could use more members like him.
