Hochul said during a press conference at MTA headquarters in Lower Manhattan on Oct. 9 that she will not tolerate the slash in funding. The shocking actions of Washington Republicans to slash these funds and defund the police put New York City at risk, the governor said. We will not tolerate these cuts; New York will take every action available to us, including the courts, to ensure the MTA gets this critical funding to keep millions of riders safe.

Police officials say they are expecting a surge in gridlock, and in turn subway ridership, throughout Manhattan over the coming week. Roads are expected to be closed, and traffic is expected to be slowed as world leaders, including President Donald Trump, are expected to descend on the Big Apple. With the increase in commuters surrounding such a high-profile event, cops are asking the public to be mindful of their surroundings and immediately contact the NYPD if they see something suspicious.
