Respectfully urges President Trump to promptly restore federal funding to Gateway Tunnel Project.
This Senate resolution urges President Trump to restore federal funding to the Gateway Tunnel Project, a major rail infrastructure initiative in New Jersey that aims to repair an aging tunnel and build a new one to improve commuter rail service between New Jersey and Manhattan. The bill directly affects the Gateway Development Commission, construction workers, and daily commuters who rely on the Northeast Corridor, noting that federal funding has been frozen since October 2025 and that a federal court order to restore funding is currently stayed pending an appeal. The resolution highlights that the project has received approximately $16 billion in federal grants and loans, supports roughly 800,000 daily passenger trips, and that continued delays could jeopardize thousands of jobs and billions in economic activity.
