Statement on Trump Administration Gateway Tunnel Project Funding Halt

The Trump Administration must immediately restore funding for the Gateway Tunnel project. Gateway is essential to our region's economy and to the millions of commuters who depend on reliable rail service every day. This project is already supporting nearly 1,000 construction jobs and will ultimately create tens of thousands more while generating billions in economic activity. Halting work now puts hardworking families out of work, wastes over $1 billion already invested, and risks higher costs and long delays. Gateway is on time, under budget, and delivering real results. New Jersey's business community will not accept this setback. Withholding these funds is unlawful, and the Administration must act now to restore funding and keep this critical project moving.
