flag NYC sues Trump administration to restore $60M in federal transit funds for Second Avenue Subway expansion.

flag The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has sued the Trump administration over the withholding of $60 million in federal funding for the Second Avenue Subway expansion, alleging breach of contract. flag The project, part of a $7.7 billion effort with $3.4 billion in federal commitments, aims to add three new stations in East Harlem and improve transit on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. flag The funding freeze, part of a broader hold on $18 billion in infrastructure funds, was tied to disputes over diversity, equity, and inclusion principles and a government shutdown. flag A federal judge previously ordered restoration of funds for a related Hudson River tunnel project. flag New York Governor Kathy Hochul called the move damaging and erratic, while the Department of Transportation said it remains committed to responsible spending and is reviewing legal options. flag The lawsuit seeks to restore the withheld funds to prevent construction delays.
