Hochul unveils $68B plan to fund MTA

Governor Kathy Hochul is committing $68 billion to fully fund the MTA’s five-year capital plan, addressing long-standing concerns over subway safety and budget shortfalls. The funding, partially backed by a new payroll tax on large businesses, will bring major upgrades—including new subway cars, improved lighting, platform barriers, additional surveillance cameras, and 60 more accessible stations. FOX 5’s Antwan Lewis reports from Grand Central Station on the sweeping plan and political hurdles ahead.
