Statement from MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber on the Federal Government Restoring Funding for Second Avenue Subway Phase 2

"It shouldn't have taken seven months and a lawsuit to get here, but with the federal government's concession today on the courthouse steps, the MTA can now confidently forge ahead with Second Avenue Subway Phase 2. The billion-dollar contract approved at our March Board meeting is being awarded and contractors are mobilizing right away.

"Today's MTA is determined to expand our network and give riders more and better service. Long-awaited transit justice for East Harlem is just the beginning."
