MTA personnel continue snow and ice removal through blizzard-like conditions. Customers are urged to monitor this page for service status before leaving home.
New York City Transit subway is operating on a normal weekday schedule for the morning rush hour.

New York City buses may reduce service by up to 20 percent if conditions warrant. Paratransit customers may also experience additional travel and wait times.

Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast Line and Midtown Direct trains are subject to 30-60 min. delays inbound and outbound, due to Amtrak switch problem. All other rail service is subject to 10-15 minute delays systemwide due to winter weather conditions.
