(White Plains, NY) – Westchester County Executive George Latimer joined with local elected officials from across Westchester County and the Bronx for an update from the MTA on the Penn Station Access Project. An agreement reached between the MTA and Amtrak allowed for the project, which will be life changing for those who live in Westchester County along the Sound Shore and commute to the Bronx or parts of Manhattan for work, creating a one-seat ride into Penn Station for the first time.

  

County Executive George Latimer said: “I want to thank the MTA for coming to Westchester County for this briefing today, which will help keep every representative from Westchester and the Bronx on the same page regarding the Penn Station Access Project. Penn Station Access will be a real game-changer for Westchester’s residents who live along the Sound Shore. For the first time ever we will be able to create a one-seat ride into Penn Station, opening up greater access to jobs, education and health care, all while improving the commute and making these communities more desirable to live in. I want to thank the MTA and for their hard work on this – we cannot wait to see this project come to fruition.”
