Barbara Buono on Technology

 

 


Take federal $3B to build ARC tunnel from NJ to NYC

Effective and efficient transportation systems are critical to a thriving work force and to attract and retain businesses here in New Jersey.

That's why it was so alarming when Governor Christie shut down the ARC tunnel project connecting North Jersey to New York City. In doing so, he cost New Jersey $3 billion in federal funds, 6,000 construction jobs and 40,000 permanent jobs that were tied to the project. Christie's also made it tougher on New Jersey commuters, forcing transit rates to go up by 25%.

Barbara was a strong supporter of the ARC project and understands the value of investing in our infrastructure to make our workers and our businesses more competitive. She'll ensure that transportation funds are used to reduce congestion and improve commuter rail, not diverted to tax cuts for the wealthy.
