After months of negotiations, New York and its two neighboring states have finally agreed on how to divide up billions in federal COVID-19 relief money aimed at public transit.
Under the agreement, New York will receive about $10.8 billion, New Jersey will get about $2.6 billion and Connecticut will receive about $474 million.
The agreement was announced Tuesday by the governors of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Transit systems in the region lost more than 90% of their ridership during the height of the pandemic, causing steep drops in revenue.
