President Trump is under fire from Democrats in New York and New Jersey for failing to include any funding in his proposed fiscal year 2020 budget for the Gateway Program, a group of projects designed to repair rail connections between New York and New Jersey.
According to the Trump administration, the $30 billion Gateway project should be funded by the state and local governments, not the federal government. The project includes upgrading two North River Tunnels under the Hudson River that connect train riders from New Jersey to Penn Station in New York, along with an overhaul of the Portal North Bridge over New Jersey’s Hackensack River.
