Maloney Celebrates Newly-Announced $2.1 Billion to Improve Local Transit Systems from the Infrastructure Law

Statement

Today, Rep. Maloney announced that the Infrastructure Law he helped write and pass will invest more than $2.1 billion to improve and expand local transit across New York. Over $39 million dollars from those funds has been allocated to projects directly in the Hudson Valley. As a Member of the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, Rep. Maloney helped draft the transformative infrastructure package and has been a critical advocate for investing in America's bridges.

"This year marks the start of a generational investment in public transit for the Hudson Valley and all New Yorkers. Repairing our infrastructure has always been one of my top priorities, and I am so proud to have helped write the Infrastructure Law that is delivering for our country," said Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney. "Upgrading and expanding our transit systems will create good paying jobs, reduce commute times, and help connect our communities."

"Transportation throughout Orange County is critical for our workforce, students, seniors, and everyone in between. Our investments in providing higher quality service with the support of the federal government and Congressman Maloney will ensure we continue to develop a transit system that works for all residents," said Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus.

"The transportation funding Rep. Maloney has delivered for Middletown will be a gamechanger for our public transit this year and for years to come," said Middletown Mayor Joseph DeStefano. "Our bus systems, senior shuttles, and more rely on these funds to remain operational. Thanks to this increase in funding, we will be able to improve services for residents of Middletown."
