Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 13 – The Metropolitan Transportation Authority of New York plans to price $178,685,000 of series 2017A transportation revenue green bonds during the week of Jan. 23, according to a preliminary official statement.

The Climate Bond Certified issue is expected to have serial bonds and two tranches of term bonds.
