Administrative Discussion Items Legislative Update – Lisa Marrello Lisa Marrello provided an update on advocacy activities. She advised that the Legislature met (after being called back by the Governor) to discuss New York City mayoral control issue and upstate tax consequences. They adjourned on June 29.

Lisa and Carm have discussed upstate transit funding in any upcoming MTA deliberations. She and her team will continue to engage elected officials on this issue. She also advised that CDTA has an active and dedicated group of local elected officials. Their tour of our facilities was very well received, and they are still talking about it on social media. It was a terrific opportunity for our organization to showcase all of the great things that are happening at CDTA.

Lisa advised that the next step this summer will be to engage Governor Cuomo’s executive staff and her team will schedule appropriate meetings.

Carm and Lisa talked about the Office of General Services (OGS) contract that will expire in about a year. OGS offers a network of transportation services to link park and ride lots with state office buildings. This service network has been in place for more than 30 years with a private contractor providing this service. CDTA has proposed on this work in the past but has never been successful. Lisa advised that she is working on this.
