“We are grateful and relieved to see the American Rescue Plan once again swiftly approved by the House and look forward to President Biden signing it into law.  The $6.5 billion slated for the MTA will ensure that we can provide the service needed to lead New York’s recovery from this devastating pandemic. This bill will lift up the MTA, New York and the country, and we thank Senate Majority Leader Schumer for his tireless leadership, as well as Speaker Pelosi and the bipartisan New York delegation for their continuing hard work and support.”
