New York is receiving nearly $6 billion in federal infrastructure dollars that can go either to roads or to subways, trains, and sidewalks. So far, the Hochul administration has spent over 90 percent on roads, and less than 1 percent on public transit. nysfocus.com/2024/02/05/bid…

Lieber thank New Yorkers for rallying behind the MTA after Governor Kathy Hochul paused congestion priciing. "Loving the MTA is not a 365-job for New Yorkers but in the last week we have felt it," he says.

The MTA has announced that it must slash by $15 billion the 2020-2024 Capital Plan for public transit. Who depends most on public transit? The lowest-income people of color. The essential workers who put their lives at risk during COVID so that the rest of the city and

We're hitting the platforms to make sure riders know their long waits, delayed trains, and inaccessible stations are all thanks to Governor Kathy Hochul and her disdain for the millions of New Yorkers who depend on our transit system. This is #HochulsMTA.

Riders and advocates plan to sue Governor Kathy Hochul if the legally mandated congestion pricing plan to fix the subway does not turn on June 30 as planned. Riders deserve better. NYers deserve better. #congestionpricingnow!

Today, alongside a broad coalition, my office announced that we are exploring all legal avenues to resume NYC’s congestion pricing plan. Governor Hochul's pause threatens MTA funding and the quality of life of all New Yorkers. Moving forward is essential for a brighter future.

City of Yes is a modest plan. It should be the floor – not the ceiling – of our efforts to address this housing crisis.    I urge my colleagues in the City Council to hold the line, be bold, and pass City of Yes without carveouts.   If you're going to do anything: do more.
