The creation of the New York City Transit Authority was intended to provide a layer of insulation between the politics and politicians of the city, and allow for more rational management of the transit system. The NYCTA has had mixed success on both counts. Mayors have continued to have major involvement in transit matters, particularly related to contract issues, although some mayors have been more involved than others. What creation of a public agency did not do, however, was insulate the transit system from the general economic travails of the city.
