As the region mulls President-elect Donald Trump’s vows for a comprehensive infrastructure package, many are wondering: What does this mean for Metro?
The short answer: Nobody knows for sure.
On the one hand, some local leaders advocating on behalf of Metro say they’re hopeful. In his acceptance speech, Trump was quick to talk about his plans to “rebuild our infrastructure … [and] put millions of our people to work as we rebuild it.” He’s spoken fondly of cutting-edge transit systems in other countries – “You go to China, they have trains that go 300 miles an hour,” he bemoaned in March – and he’s has first-hand experience with New York City’s subway system and its importance to the New York economy.
