  "It's not a one-time fix. It's a fix forever," explains Mysore Nagaraja, who retired from the MTA last year and now works as a consultant..
  
  The Commission proposed to resolve the MTA's financial problems by creating two new sources of revenue: a Regional Mobility tax forcing employers to pay 33 cents for every $100 of payroll and cashless tolling on all East River and Harlem River Bridges.
  
  According to the Commision's report, the nominal Mobility tax will generate $1.5 billion per year, and the tolls will bring in an additional $600 million annually. Nagaraja believes this will be enough not only to keep all of the existing train lines in a state of good repair, but also to keep all of the MTA's expansion projects on schedule.
  
  As President of the Capital Construction Company, Nagaraja conceived and spearheaded projects like the Second Avenue Subway, East Side Access and the extension of the 7 line. So he is particularly happy to point out that one year of the Mobility Tax will raise enough revenue to complete the Second Avenue Subway, which currently needs $1.2 billion.
  
  Fares for subway riders will still increase under the plan, but the smaller and more predictable hikes will be set to fixed rates and schedules. Nagaraja says the MTA is currently mulling 23% increases, and only an 8% hike would be needed under the Ravitch Commissions proposals.
  ...
  Nagaraja admits that the report did not take Obama's potential stimulus package into account, and if passed, it could provide enough funding to rescue the MTA - until its next financial crisis.
  
  "My message is that this is a holistic approach, and it will improve the region forever. That's how [lawmakers] should look at it rather than how it will affect us tomorrow," Nagaraja says.
