Featured projects Bus Network Redesign We want to modernize New York City’s bus network and improve bus service borough by borough. Our goal is to provide customers with more reliable service, faster travel, better connections, and ease of use. East Side Access East Side Access is the MTA’s largest capital project. The finished project will provide Long Island Rail Road riders with 40 miles of new tracks and a brand-new terminal beneath Grand Central. 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. Interborough Express The Interborough Express is a rapid transit project that would connect underserved areas of Brooklyn and Queens.

Overhauling our radio communications system We’re replacing our old analog systems with new, more efficient, more reliable 700 & 800 MHz digital radio communication systems. 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.
