With the state budget deadline almost a month away, Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul are on a collision course over MTA funding.

The governor has asked the city to pony up an additional $500 million per year to help prop up the beleaguered state agency.

In his Albany testimony last week, Adams took issue with the Hochul’s executive budget, which calls on the city to pay an additional half billion dollars per year to fund the MTA.

In a radio interview Wednesday, he doubled down on that sentiment.

“No other municipality is being called on to do this. And it’s just unfair,” Adams said on WABC Radio’s “Sid and Friends in the Morning.” “And I disagree with the governor on it. I shared that with her. And I am going to fight like Hell to make sure New York City is not treated differently throughout the state.”

According to Hochul, the state is already covering part of the city’s costs for the MTA’s Access-A-Ride para-transit service, which helps transport people with disabilities. And that subsidy is unique throughout New York state.

“The premise behind the $500 million is simply to end the state’s subsidy for services that are being picked up by other municipalities,” Hochul told reporters Tuesday in Westchester. “Only two areas. One is for para-transit services that other municipalities pick up for their residents, as well as the subsidy to give passes for children to get to school. So, that is where the state has been subsidizing the city.”

According to transit officials and Hochul, the MTA is suffering from a financial crisis after ridership plummeted, and federal COVID-19 dollars dried up.

An increase of funds is needed to get the agency back on track, as ridership has failed to bounce back completely to pre-pandemic levels.

“Given that we are facing a fiscal cliff, all of us have to share in the pain of saving this, because we have to,” Hochul said Tuesday.

In his interview, Adams also sought to clarify his stance on charter schools.

He was accused of wavering in his support of charter schools when he told Albany lawmakers that new charters will cost the city more than a billion dollars per year.

“I have never wavered on my support of all schools in general, but specifically charter schools. Yes, I support charter schools. I support good schools. The district schools are also are public schools. Many people forget that charter are public schools,” Adams said.

Hochul wants to eliminate the regional cap on charters, which would add more charter schools in New York City. But she is getting resistance from legislative Democrats, who are opposed to charter schools.
