New York State TEA-21 Reauthorization Update

At Governor Pataki’s request, former New York State Assembly Minority leader John Faso will head an initiative to protect New York State’s interests in the upcoming reauthorization of the Transportation Equity Act of 21st Century (TEA- 21) bill.

The Governor will likely request funding for East Side Access, the 2nd Avenue Subway, and the Tappan Zee Bridge. Both Governor Pataki and President Bush have voiced their support of the East Side Access project. Other projects that need to be prioritized include the cross harbor freight tunnel, LIRR Main Line third track, Lower Manhattan improvements, and new passenger rail tunnel under the Hudson River.
