Today, Cynthia greeted commuters at Grand Central Terminal before taking Metro-North to greet volunteers in Mount Vernon. The Governor oversees the MTA, which has jurisdiction over Metro-North railroad lines on the western and eastern portions of the Hudson River in New York. Much like the New York City subway and the LIRR, Metro-North has struggled under Cuomo’s leadership. Metro-North’s on-time performance declined again in June.
“Governor Cuomo literally can’t make the trains run on time,” said Cynthia in a statement. “His refusal to ask his wealthy donors to pay more has left commuters struggling with broken mass transit and higher and higher fares. Unlike the Governor, I know the MTA is the state’s responsibility, and I will do what is necessary to fund it.”
