The transit agency in charge of New York City's subway system sued the Trump administration Tuesday, accusing it of breach of contract for withholding almost $60 million in federal funding that was supposed to help build new stations in Manhattan.
The suit from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is the latest in a series of legal battles between the federal government and officials in New York and New Jersey over funding for transportation infrastructure projects in the region — including a reconstruction project for New York’s Penn Station, a new rail tunnel between the two states and New York’s first-in-the-nation congestion fee on drivers entering the busiest part of Manhattan.
