S 2204 New York Senate · 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

S 2204 requires the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to study whether the Triboro rail line corridor - spanning from the Bronx through Queens to Brooklyn - could safely and effectively operate as a shared public transit and freight rail line. The study, to be completed within one year, will examine challenges, benefits, and operational details like station locations, service frequency, and cost estimates for co-mingling transit and freight traffic. It specifically aims to assess potential travel time reductions, environmental benefits, and economic impacts for outer borough residents. The MTA must report findings to state leaders, including projected ridership and phased implementation plans, but does not authorize actual service changes.
