NY Officials Request More MTA Funding Amid Trump Administration's Threats

Reported 3 days ago

New York officials, led by Governor Kathy Hochul, are urging the federal government to boost funding for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) despite escalating threats from the Trump administration to cut transit funds. In a letter sent to Trump and key Congressional members, Hochul highlighted the disparity between the MTA's ridership and its federal funding allocation, seeking alignment to better support the city's public transit system. This request follows tensions between the state and federal officials over crime reduction measures and congestion pricing, as New York grapples with significant funding challenges for public transportation modernization.
