Good luck to him.

MTA previously had its own police force of upwards of 500 officers and was disbanded in the late 1990s as cost mounted and force simply could not provide enough coverage across the County.

I have doubts that a proposed similarly sized force with an even larger ground and a rail network that did not exist back then will have any better success.

They are talking about a 5-year process to build out this new agency. Get the popcorn out.
