She has been responsible for more than 84 million square feet of commercial transactions, and her deals have anchored more than 10.9 million square feet of new construction in the New York region—believed to be a record in commercial brokerage.

For her decades of dedication to the building community in New York and her contributions to the City’s transformation, Ms. Tighe is the recipient of the New York Building Congress 92nd Anniversary Leadership Award. 5 6 SPECIAL RECOGNITION Metropolitan Transportation Authority Accepted by Thomas F. Prendergast Interim Executive Director; Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Nominee The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is North America’s largest transportation network, serving a population of 14.9 million people in the 5,000-square-mile area fanning out from New York City through Long Island, southeastern New York State, and Connecticut. It drives the New York regional economy by providing countless job opportunities for millions. After work, the network enables commuters to get to leisure activities: music, theater, cultural events, sports, and shopping more varied than anywhere in the country. MTA subways, buses, and railroads provide 2.63 billion trips each year to New Yorkers – the equivalent of about one in every three users of mass transit in the United States and two-thirds of the nation’s rail riders. MTA bridges and tunnels carry nearly 300 million vehicles a year – more than any bridge and tunnel authority in the nation. In the days leading up to, and months following Superstorm Sandy, the authority worked closely with the Governor’s office, the Mayor’s office, and State and local Offices of Emergency Management to prepare for the storm and respond in a coordinated manner. The authority took extensive steps to protect assets prior to the arrival of Sandy and worked quickly to restore operations in the storm’s aftermath. Inspectors assessed damage to support immediate service restoration and identification of capital recovery needs. Most subway and commuter rail services were progressively reopened within the first week following the storm. “Bus bridges” shuttled customers between Manhattan and Brooklyn while initial subway service was being restored. Over the past two decades, the MTA has committed some $72 billion to restore and improve the network so that today it runs at unprecedented levels of efficiency. The authority is continuing its rebuilding and improvement efforts through the 2010-2014 Capital Program and has committed significant resources to the first substantial expansion of the network in 60 years, including Long Island Rail Road access to Grand Central, the first segment of a full-length Second Avenue subway, and the extension of the Number 7 line west from Times Square to the Javits Center. Superstorm Sandy was an unprecedented natural disaster for the region. Employees at all MTA agencies worked diligently to restore and maintain high service and safety standards. It is for these reasons the MTA, under the leadership of Thomas F. Prendergast, is being given Special Recognition and enthusiastic appreciation by the New York Building Congress. 7 T HE C ITY OF N EW Y ORK O FFICE OF THE M AYOR N EW Y ORK, NY 10007 May 15, 2013 Dear Friends: It is a pleasure to welcome everyone as the venerable New York Building Congress hosts its 92nd Anniversary Leadership Awards Luncheon.
