The consulting firm AlixPartners was hired in May to review the MTA’s operations and recommend efficiencies. Posting the AlixPartners plan online as soon as it is presented to the board will enhance the credibility of the process, and engaging the public in sustained, substantive discussion will surface critical reforms necessary to improve service. In contrast, a hasty, closed-door effort runs the risk of cementing changes that may ultimately prove harmful to the long-term interests of transit riders.
