The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Acting Administrator Therese McMillan today participated in the unveiling of the reconstructed Fordham Plaza, a major intermodal public transportation hub in the heart of The Bronx. The project improves access to public transportation for thousands of New York City residents, and is another success for the Department's Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant program.
"We invested in the Fordham Plaza reconstruction because we knew the safety and mobility improvement would transform how people travel in and around The Bronx," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. "In addition, the expanded public space ties the neighborhoods, retail district, and cultural institutions together to strengthen the vitality of the surrounding area."
