An incredibly proud time for us at the NFTA, as our first responders were honored at Governor Kathy Hochul’s special event this past weekend. NFTA police and fire fighting teams rescued 64 people, including children and 1 dog, from their vehicles around the airport during the blizzard. Our community is so appreciative of you and all of our brave first responders here in Western New York.
