Long Island Rail Road

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) stands as North America’s largest transportation network, connecting 15.3 million people across a 5,000-square-mile service area encompassing New York City, Long Island, southeastern New York State, and Connecticut. Through its six agencies, the MTA manages the nation’s largest bus fleet and more subway and commuter rail cars than all other U.S. transit systems combined. Facilitating approximately 2.6 billion annual trips and a record 329 million bridge and tunnel crossings in 2019, the MTA is the vital artery for its region, carrying one-third of the nation’s mass transit users and two-thirds of its commuter rail passengers.
