Testifying on the Cross Harbor Rail Freight Tunnel
Brad Hoylman
January 30, 2015
On January 23, I testified before the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey and the Federal Highway Administration on the Cross Harbor Freight Program, a major plan to ease truck congestion and foster more efficient, cost-effective and environmentally sustainable movement of goods throughout our region. Currently, New York City is the only major city in the country that is not connected to the national freight rail network. It is clear that the best long-term strategy is to construct a double-stack, double-track rail tunnel known as the Cross Harbor Rail Freight Tunnel. I commend my colleague, Congressman Jerrold Nadler, for his historic leadership advocating for the Cross Harbor Rail Freight Tunnel for nearly 30 years. Please see my testimony attached.
