A senior MTA bus supervisor evaded toll charges by blocking his car’s plates and owed more than $100,000 in tolls and fees spanning almost a decade, according to an investigation by the agency’s Inspector General Carolyn Pokorny released Monday, Sept. 27.
The assistant general superintendent in question apparently bragged to his co-workers about dodging the charges he owed to three different state tolling agencies, including tens of thousands of dollars to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s own Bridges and Tunnels division (B&T), according to the probe.
“MTA management is supposed to model ethical behavior, not violate it,” said Pokorny in a statement. “That a supervisor would unscrupulously steal toll dollars from New Yorkers –and have the nerve to brag about it on the job – is a slap in the face to the rest of the dedicated, hardworking MTA employees who keep New York moving.”
The corrupt transit manager, whom officials are choosing not to identify and is labeled as “AG Superintendent” in the report, worked out of MTA’s East New York bus depot in Brooklyn where he oversaw everyday maintenance of buses.
