A 4329 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to conducting a study on the feasibility of using the Triboro rail line as a public transit line co-mingling with freight service

This bill mandates the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to study whether the Triboro rail line can share space for both public transit and freight trains. The study must cover a specific corridor (from the Bronx through Queens) and assess potential benefits like reduced travel times, improved quality of life for outer borough residents, and economic gains. The MTA must report findings within one year, including expected ridership, station locations, phased implementation plans, and costs. This is a feasibility study only - not a law to build or operate the service - so it does not change current transit or freight operations.
