MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said on Wednesday that the agency had issued an ultimatum to the Trump administration, demanding the release of nearly $60 million in reimbursements for the East Harlem extension of the Second Avenue Subway by March 6, or face legal action.
The MTA boss, during the agency board’s monthly meeting on Feb. 25, said it sent the warning letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation and Federal Transit Administration through its outside counsel at the behest of Gov. Kathy Hochul.
