The MTA plans to defer $16.5 billion in upgrades to modernize New York City’s transit system due to “unavailability of funding.”
One critical project that is now on pause would’ve been the extension of the city’s 2nd Avenue subway to Harlem, but the agency will now focus on “state-of-good-repair work,” which maintains transit in the city. The tolls would’ve funded much of the transit system’s improvements, but it will now have to look elsewhere for funding. Progressives have repeatedly slammed Hochul for her move, which they say would’ve reduced traffic and improved air quality in the region.
