Senator Gillibrand Statement On Court Granting Temporary Stay On Gateway Project Funding
Feb 9, 2026
Today, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), ranking member of the Senate Appropriations Transportation Subcommittee, released the following statement after a federal court issued an administrative stay on restoring funding for the Gateway Hudson Tunnel project:
"President Trump and his administration's chaos continue to hurt New Yorkers. I urge him to put the American people over his ego, stop messing with New Yorkers' tax dollars and livelihoods, and release the federal funding Congress already provided for this critical infrastructure project.
"These political games have real life ramifications, with millions of Americans counting on the Gateway Hudson Tunnel - including the project's union workers and their families, as well as the rail passengers traveling along the busiest corridor in the nation."
