The Federal Aviation Administration approved the proposed LaGuardia Airport AirTrain on Tuesday, despite pushback from surrounding communities and environmental advocates.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who unveiled plans for the AirTrain in 2015, said the project will offer an “efficient, and affordable transit connector” to one of the state’s busiest transportation hubs.

The FAA held hearings last year as it conducted an environmental review. Eighteen federal, state and local agencies provided input and the public provided over 4,200 comments before the agency reached its decision.
With FAA approval, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey can move forward with an application for federal funding.
