Ravitch served as MTA chairman in the 1980s, helping save the city's mass transit system just as he had helped save the City from financial collapse in the 1970s.
He similarly came to the aid of Gov. David Paterson in 2009, recruited to serve as his lieutenant governor when Paterson took over for Eliot Spitzer.
"In many ways, he is one of the fathers of the mass transit system we have today," current MTA Chair and CEO Janno Leiber said.
