Statement from MTA Acting Chair and CEO Janno Lieber on U.S. Department of Transportation Releasing $6.2 Billion in American Rescue Plan (ARP) and COVID-relief Funds to the MTA

“We are grateful to Senate Majority Leader Schumer, the New York delegation and Governor Hochul for their consistent support of mass transit. Our subways, buses and railroads are the secret sauce that keeps the region moving, helping to rebuild New York’s dynamic economy while battling climate change. This funding helps the MTA continue to provide top-tier service and in the near term avoid fare increases.”
