Throughout his forty-year career, Moses oversaw construction and function of Jones Beach State Park and the New York State Parkway System, and was acting head of the Triborough Bridge Authority. Despite his accomplishments in public affairs, Moses's reputation was diminished with the publication of Robert Caro's biography The Power Broker, which described Moses as a racist official who cut corners on budgeting and restricted access to city parks for lower-class families.
