Transit advocates are watching with concern as several high-profile transit projects across America face uncertain futures under the Trump administration, from New York's congestion pricing to California's high-speed rail.
• NYC's congestion pricing has shown remarkable early success with 70% fewer honking complaints, 50% fewer traffic injuries, and increased transit ridership
• The MTA's $500 million annual revenue from congestion pricing funds critical improvements to accessibility, bus frequency, and subway infrastructure
• California High-Speed Rail construction continues despite funding threats, with $14 billion already invested and 15,000 jobs created
• San Antonio's Green Line BRT project would deliver vital 10-15 minute frequency service along a 12-mile corridor in America's largest city without rail
• Virginia's railway expansion includes crucial bottleneck improvements to the Long Bridge, which operates at 95% capacity
• Austin's highway cap project faces uncertainty with rising costs reaching $1.4 billion while the underlying I-35 expansion proceeds unimpeded
• Projects across the country face delays and funding challenges as previously awarded grants undergo review
