Sitra Digital power and democracy project
The project produces information on new forms of digital power and enables people to make a difference in matters that are important to them.
The Transit Innovation Partnership is a public-private initiative launched by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the Partnership for New York City with the mission to make New York the global leader in public transit.
In the spirit of the creative solutions and innovations that sprung from the competition, the MTA and the Partnership for New York City have launched the Transit Innovation Partnership (TIP), a public-private collaboration dedicated to bringing new ideas, resources and expertise to support the MTA's mission and improve customer experience. The Partnership for New York City has committed $1.5 million to launch this initiative. MTA President Pat Foye will work with Rachel Haot, Governor Cuomo's former chief digital officer who will lead TIP as its executive director. TIP's advisory board, chaired by Alan Fishman, will comprise leaders of business, civic, high tech and transit advocacy organizations that are committed to MTA's growth and success. A list of the advisory board members is included below.
