If his proposal stands, there will be no Cycle 7 funding for the ATP. Contrast this with the State Highway Account, which is expected to be about $5.4 billion this year.

Devastating the ATP while spending billions on highway expansions is anti-climate and illogical; ATP supports climate action effectively by comparison.

Negotiations continue in the legislature, with state lawmakers expressing concern over proposed cuts to the ATP budget.
