New York receives less than 16 percent of this federal funding despite being home to almost 40 percent of the nation's transit riders

The Washington political class has clearly failed us. At the top of this list is do-nothing Senator and Presidential wannabe Kirsten Gillibrand. Gillibrand is responsible for forcing New York's taxpayers to hand over $48 BILLION more in taxes to Washington each year than we get back. As a donor state consistently shortchanged on its appropriate mass transit funding, New York is being "railroaded" in more ways than one.
 Dear Friend,Did you know that according to an independent analysis of the federal Highway Trust Fund, New York receives less than 16 percent of this federal funding despite being home to almost 40 percent of the nation's transit riders?

Today I joined New York City Councilman Eric Ulrich to protest New York's funding disparity and restate my pledge to recover our $48 billion. New York's subway riders and commuters have had to endure one "Summer of Hell" after another. And, despite the worst on-time record of any major rapid-transit system in the world, now the Metropolitan Transportation Authority wants to hike fees again in 2019 and 2021.

Only within the tone-deaf walls of government are customers expected to pay more money for worse service. Thank you, Councilman Ulrich, for your leadership on this critical issue of funding fairness.
