Statement on President Trump Terminating Federal Funding for the Gateway Program
Published on Oct 16, 2025
Our statement from New York Building Congress President & CEO Carlo A. Scissura, Esq. on the recent announcement of the termination of the Gateway Program’s federal funding:
“The Gateway Program is a critical economic engine: not just for New York, not just for the Northeast Corridor, but for the entire nation. Yet it continues to be played as a political football while real jobs – thousands of them – are on the line. As is the transportation future of an entire region.
Now is the time to celebrate the tremendous strides being made to bring it to fruition, and once again recognize that infrastructure should be nonpartisan. We must keep Gateway going.”
