Kiley for London
Robert Kiley, president of the New York Partnership and Chamber of Commerce, NYC's leading business association, and former chair of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority has been named chief executive officer of Transport for London. While media reports have generally reported on Kiley's role as reviving the London Underground, Transport for London's purview is considerably wider. The new agency is an amalgam of mass transit, roadway and taxi regulatory agencies that will seek to clean up the British capital's transportation mess with a new, integrated strategy that will include better transit and motor vehicle entry fees for the city's central area. At the NYC Partnership, Kiley had been researching an integrated capital investment strategy for the NY metro area's mass transit and highway systems. His commitment to better transportation will be missed in New York.
