Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Chair and CEO Janno Lieber joined Lisa Sorin, President of The Bronx Chamber of Commerce, NYS and NYS agency representatives, and elected officials on Fordham Road to launch the implementation of the MTA Bus Network Redesign Plan. The implementation announcement is a new collaborative effort to tangibly improve transit service for New Yorkers, with an emphasis on advancing critical projects to make buses faster, more accessible, and integrated with other transportation options.

This initiative aims to comprehensively modernize New York City’s bus network and improve bus service in each borough. These projects are a rare opportunity to take a fresh look at the bus network. 

The Bus Network Redesign Plan includes:

-Joint Effort Will Bring Faster, More Reliable Bus Service, 150 Miles of New and Enhanced Bus Lanes, Busways Over Four Years

-Technology Improvements Will Enhance Bus Lane Enforcement and Transit Signal Priority to Speed Up Buses

-MTA Commits $200 Million to Expand Countdown Clocks, Upgrade Public Announcement Systems in Over 70 Subway Stations

-City, MTA Reaffirm Collaboration on Subway Safety and Quality-of-Life Improvements
