Round of Applause for Employees’
Innovative Transit Solutions
The Transit Tech
Lab (TTL) is an annual
program that was
established by the
Partnership for NYC
and the MTA, that works
with several transit
agencies, including the
Port Authority, MTA,
NJ Transit, and the NYC Department of
Transportation. Its mission is to source,
evaluate, and pilot new technologies,
at no initial cost, introducing innovative
solutions and early-stage companies to
transit organizations to help solve some
of our challenges.
Thank you to those who have
participated in the PA’s TTL in 2023
and who are under consideration for a
PA Applause award for Innovation:
Earlyne Alexander, Candace
