MTA MEETS MAGA: The Trump administration unleashed its latest threat to strip funding from the nation's largest transit agency. In a letter to the MTA Tuesday, federal Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said he wants the local authority to crack down on fare evasion, violent crime and homelessness in New York City subways.
The article from Politico's New York Playbook PM discusses former President Donald Trump's recent comments where he threatened to withhold federal funding from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) if elected in 2024. Trump's remarks were made during a speech at a rally in Georgia, where he criticized the MTA for what he perceives as its mismanagement and inefficiency. He suggested that the MTA's funding could be redirected to other states or projects if it does not improve its performance. This threat comes at a time when the MTA is already facing significant financial challenges, including a projected budget deficit and ongoing recovery efforts from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump's comments have raised concerns among New York officials and transit advocates about the potential implications for the city's public transportation system, which is crucial for millions of daily commuters.
