The Tri-State Transportation Campaign wrote on December 14 to NY Governor-elect Pataki, urging him to reconsider the NY State Department of Transportation's plan to add high-occupancy vehicle lanes to the Cross-Westchester Expressway, and to consider downsizing the
DOT's plan to rebuild Route 9A on the West Side of Manhattan. The letter said that funds saved from the Route 9A project could be used to restore vital subway rebuilding projects to the MTA's capital plan. Many such projects have been deferred by the MTA because of funding cuts
threatened by New York City Mayor Giuliani. The letter also briefly mentioned the Campaign's favorable attitude toward Pataki statements about avoiding a NYC transit fare hike and revisiting the Port Authority's airport rail plan.
