I didn’t know that the MTA account was subsidized from the general account. Are you sure? I though all revenues were from tolls for the MTA account.

I think the tolls cover salaries, health insurance, pensions, etc.

BUT, the maintenance of the roads, the Baltimore Tunnels, the Bay Bridge, etc. come from the general fund - that is what was raided AND it is the majority expense related to the toll facilities ...
