Statement from Governor Kathy Hochul on the MTA Receiving $769 Million in Additional COVID Relief Funding from the Federal Transit Administration

“The MTA is the lifeblood of the New York City region, and investing in quality, reliable transit service is key to our economic recovery. This additional $769 million in funding brings the total federal pandemic aid for the MTA to over $15 billion and is a victory for New Yorkers who rely on the system. I thank Senators Schumer and Gillibrand and our Congressional delegation for their ongoing support of our transportation systems as we keep working to bring our economy back.”
