New York City Mayor's Office and several representatives announced significant funding and grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation for various infrastructure and public transit projects. The CityFHEPS vouchers will be made more accessible for New Yorkers, with additional funding for the Fair Fares program. Projects in Washington, Long Beach, and Millen received substantial grants aimed at road safety, economic boost, and reducing port pollution. The Cross Bronx Expressway will receive $150 million to become more pedestrian and public transit friendly, addressing historical injustices. Rebates for the Cross Bay Bridge were also highlighted in an editorial.
The grant to eliminate Millen’s blocked rail crossings was long overdue. Glad to work with @USDOT & @SenOssoff to help get this done. https://t.co/GZIjw906bh

We are excited to announce that @USDOT awarded $150 million to make the Cross Bronx Expway more pedestrian and public transit friendly. There’s much to do to address the injustices of the Robert Moses era, and this is a step in the right direction. Next we #CaptheCrossBronx.
