Transit agency sues Trump over frozen funds for New York subway project
CNBC
The Manhattan subway project is designed to shorten commutes for more than 100,000 daily riders, while adding three new subway stations.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority sued the Trump administration on Tuesday for withholding nearly $60 million from a major New York City subway project.
The breach-of-contract lawsuit — filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims — over funding for the $7.7 billion Second Avenue Subway project is the latest in a series of legal challenges to the U.S. Transportation Department's decision to suspend funding for some projects at the start of a government shutdown last fall.
USDOT and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
