Featured projects LIRR Main Line Expansion The MTA is building a third track from Floral Park to Hicksville that will reduce train congestion and delays, especially during peak hours. This project also includes building parking garages, improving rail bridges, and removing seven street-level crossings. Station accessibility projects As part of our long-term commitment to systemwide accessibility, we are investing nearly $6 billion in station accessibility in the 2020-2024 Capital Program, to make 70 stations newly ADA accessible and modernize an additional 78 subway elevators. Transitioning to a zero-emission bus fleet As part of our commitment to sustainability, the MTA will replace and transform its entire bus fleet with zero-emissions vehicles by 2040. This will reduce our carbon emissions, help slow climate change, and serve as a model for other diesel fleet operators. Penn Station Access The MTA will create an extension of Metro-North Railroad‘s New Haven Line to reach Penn Station. This will create four new accessible stations, improve existing tracks and bridges, and will cut travel times from the Bronx to Manhattan by as much as 50 minutes.
