The MTA Construction Industry Working Group was established in the mid-1990's at the suggestion of former MTA Chairman Peter Stangl. Its purpose is to address design and contractor issues between the industry and the MTA. In recent years, considerable progress has been achieved on matters such as contract retainage and payment questions. Meetings are open to all interested Building Congress members.
