Sarah Feinberg tapped as new MTA chair, first woman in the role: official

Sarah Feinberg — who led the city’s subways and buses through the COVID-19 pandemic and pushed for more cops underground amid a rash of violence — is set to be nominated as the first woman to serve as the MTA’s chair, a senior agency official told The Post on Tuesday. 

Feinberg, 43, began her tenure in March 2020 as interim head of the MTA division that runs the city’s subways and buses, the official told The Post.  Now, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has nominated her to oversee the entire state agency — replacing Pat Foye, the official said. Her nomination must be approved by the state Senate.
