transportation authorities

Public transit managers

Transportation authorities are government agencies responsible for planning, operating, or overseeing public transit systems and infrastructure.

They typically manage buses, subways, trains, ferries, or highways within a region: The Metropolitan Transportation Authority runs New York's subway system.

These bodies often have taxing or toll-collecting powers to fund their operations.
