New York City’s transit system sued the Trump administration to unpause federal funds tied to a $7 billion project that would extend the Second Avenue subway to Harlem.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, a state agency that runs the city’s subway, bus and commuter rail lines, warned last month that it would have to take such action if it failed to receive about $60 million of federal cash for the project by March 6.
