The ferry will provide direct service from South Amboy to Lower and Midtown Manhattan.\n\nPallone advocated for the $5.3 million in federal funding that was awarded from the Federal Transit Administration in support of the city\u2019s Passenger Ferry Grant Program application. The project will help meet commuter demand between Central New Jersey and New York City and strengthen the area\u2019s economy.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m proud to join state and local leaders in South Amboy today to witness the launch of the ferry. This moment is the culmination of years of hard work from everyone joining us today. The South Amboy ferry will give residents a new way to commute between Central Jersey and New York City and reduce traffic congestion,\u201d Pallone said. \u201cThe ferry will also bolster economic opportunities in the city and surrounding area. I\u2019m glad to see the federal funding I helped secure for the project in action, and I want to thank everyone who joined us today for their dedication to this important project.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://pallone.house.gov/media/press-releases/pallone-joins-state-and-local-leaders-launch-south-amboy-ferry"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9723077528178692, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
