Urges President Trump to restore federal funding for the Gateway Tunnel Project.

This resolution urges President Trump to restore federal funding for the Gateway Tunnel Project, which is critical for remediating aging rail infrastructure and ensuring commuter safety between New Jersey and Manhattan. The project, which has received $12 billion in federal grants and $4 billion in federal loans, is currently at a standstill due to a funding freeze, leading to layoffs and unfinished construction. The resolution highlights the economic importance of the project, which is expected to generate 95,000 jobs and $19.6 billion in economic activity.
