'New York isn't New York without the MTA, so we're doing everything we can to preserve and improve it.'
The Governor’s proposal takes a balanced approach to funding transit – a major issue being faced by transit operators nationwide in the wake of the pandemic.
There’s going to be a lot of discussion in Albany and beyond about the specifics of this proposal. But the bottom line is that, for New Yorkers, public transportation is like air and water – we need it to survive. Some elected leaders are even calling for more service – which I appreciate – but first we need to prioritize preserving existing service from cuts.
To top it off, we’re just days away from opening full LIRR service to Grand Central Madison, which – combined with the recent completion of the Third Track Project – is going to enable a 41% systemwide increase in service. We’ve broken ground on Metro-North Penn Station Access, the project to add four new railroad stations in the Bronx and extend service to what will hopefully be a completely transformed Penn Station.
