As the MTA Waits (And Waits) for Washington Relief, More People Are Looking to Cuomo to Save Transit
Doesn't this train go through Albany?
The MTA is threatening massive, unprecedented service and job cuts to its transit system if Congress, particularly the U.S. Senate, fails to provide $12 billion in COVID relief. But the Cuomo administration also seems ready to do nothing while the MTA considers laying off almost 10,000 workers and cut bus and subway service by 40 percent starting in May. So why won't Gov. Cuomo could act.
"I don't know how we can continue to wait for federal funding," said State Senator Jessica Ramos.
