with the passing of uncle joe’s infrastructure bill, this is the targeted nyc region haul — per the post:

Rail: $58 billion

$22 billion for Amtrak improvements, including the Gateway tunnel project under Hudson River.

$24 billion for Northeast Corridor modernization.

$12 billion for Intercity passenger rail, including high-speed rail.


Mass Transit: $9.8 billion

$9.8 billion for Clean Buses and Mass Transit


“Tip of the tongue projects likely to receive immediate assistance will be additional relief for the MTA/LIRR, the Gateway Tunnel project, Penn Station access, the East River Tunnels, and the Second Ave Subway,” Angelo Roefaro, a spokesman for Sen. Schumer told The Post.

The cash will also mean faster ferries, completing a high-occupancy vehicles (HOV) lane on the Staten Island Expressway, and upgrading the city sewer system to better handle flooding and more.
