New York

New York’s largest public transit system is cracking down on fare evaders, who cost the state nearly $700 million in lost revenue last year.

New York is getting nearly $6.9 billion in federal funding to help build a long delayed second tunnel beneath the Hudson River in what state leaders say is the largest transportation grant in U.S. history.

While New Jersey officials are seeing red over the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s new congestion pricing plan, the state is still getting plenty of green from the regional transit agency.
