In a significant boost for infrastructure projects across the United States, the Biden Administration, through the Department of Transportation (USDOT), has earmarked substantial funds in the FY25 budget. Notably, $700 million has been allocated for the Hudson Tunnel Project, as acknowledged by Representatives Menendez and Nadler, who have both expressed gratitude towards President Biden, @SecretaryPete, and @Pollytrott for this allocation, with Menendez looking forward to working with @HouseDemocrats to ensure full funding. Additionally, the budget includes $500 million for the High Speed Rail project aimed at connecting downtown San Francisco, referred to as 'The Portal', as highlighted by Rafael Mandelman. Speaker Pelosi also announced securing $850,000 for modernizing the 16th St/Mission BART station elevator in discussions with @SFBART leadership and revealed a $500 million recommendation for @TransitCenterSF's Transbay Downtown Extension Project in San Francisco. These investments underscore the administration's commitment to enhancing the nation's infrastructure and public transportation systems.
