The 2025-2044 20-Year Needs Assessment Comparative Evaluation is a framework which assesses the costs and benefits of potential expansions and enhancements. All potential projects are evaluated using a consistent set of models, tools, and criteria including ridership, time savings, network resilience and sustainability, capacity, equity, network leverage, geographic distribution, and cost. The most promising projects may be advanced for further study and possible inclusion in future capital plans.

Additional Bus Stop Time is the average time that customers spend waiting at a stop beyond their scheduled wait time.

Additional Travel Time is the average time customers spend onboard a bus beyond their scheduled travel time.

Customer Journey Time Performance is the percentage of customers whose journeys are completed within 5 minutes of their scheduled time.

This dataset covers data between 2017 and 2019. For data from 2020 on, use https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-Bus-Customer-Journey-Focused-Metrics-Beginning/wrt8-4b59/about_data.

Ridership projections for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, developed by McKinsey & Company, to help management assess the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on MTA operations.

This dataset provides an estimate of subway travel patterns based on scaled-up OMNY and MetroCard return swipe data. It provides estimated passenger volumes for all populated origin-destination (O-D) pairs aggregated by month, day of the week, and hour of day. It also provides the name, ID, and approximate latitude and longitude of the origin and destination subway complexes.

This dataset reflects the monthly number of employee-reported incidents of workplace violence, as defined by New York State Labor Law Section 27-B, against on-duty MTA employees. This dataset divides workplace violence incidents into groupings according to New York State Penal Law Related Offenses. The same data is available in the MTA Workplace Violence Labor Law Incidents dataset, which divides the data as reported pursuant to New York State Labor Law Section 27-B.

The 2025-2044 20-Year Needs Assessment is a broad, comprehensive blueprint that outlines the MTA region's transportation capital needs for the next generation. It provides an extensive, long-term view based upon rigorous data analysis across all the MTA agencies. The MTA developed a three-part plan to for the next 20 years to achieve the transit network New Yorkers deserve. It is based on three fundamental ideas: rebuild the foundation of the system to ensure its survival, improve our network to meet 21st century needs, and expand to support future growth. This dataset includes data on the conditions of most assets in the MTA system.

Service alerts in the MTA system are generated to inform passengers of both scheduled and unscheduled events that affect the transit network. These events can range from planned maintenance and construction activities to unexpected incidents such as accidents, track maintenance or planned work and more. The process of creating alerts involves the continuous monitoring of the transit system, including station locations, track statuses, and external factors that might impact service. When a potential disruption is identified, an alert is generated to provide passengers with timely and accurate information about how their travel might be affected.

The number of summonses and arrests made by NYPD or MTAPD for fare evasion and other violations of the rules of conduct of the transit system.

This dataset provides information on the actual end-to-end running times for subway trips between their origin and destination stations, including the average, and 25th, 50th (median), and 75th percentile running times in minutes, along with the scheduled end-to-end running time in minutes for these trips.

Data is available for a combination of each month, day type (Weekday, Saturday, Sunday), time period (AM Peak, Midday, PM Peak, Evening, Overnight), subway line, and stop path id (each distinct set of subway stops made by trains). The dataset also includes the direction, number of stops, origin station, and destination station for each stop path, the distance and average actual speed in miles per hour along the stop path, and the actual and scheduled number of trains running along the stop path.

This dataset provides bus ridership estimates on an hourly basis by bus route and class of fare payment.

The dataset provides financial information on total positions in Function/Occupational Group related to different MTA Agencies budgetary estimates and actuals. For a more comprehensive view of this data, please use MTA Headcount at data.ny.gov/d/ui26-n8p4.

The daily ridership dataset provides systemwide ridership and traffic estimates for subways (including the Staten Island Railway), buses, Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North Railroad, Access-A-Ride, and Bridges and Tunnels

This dataset is obtained from the MTA’s annual budgeting process and provides a detailed breakout of the MTA’s operating expenses and revenues. Data is available for each month of a fiscal year, on an accrual basis, and is categorized by budget scenario (actuals or budgeted plan), Agency, Financial Plan Year, Expense Type, and subcategories for types of expenses or revenues.

This dataset provides actual and projected monthly headcount data, obtained from the MTA’s annual budgeting process, for each month of a fiscal year, categorized by budget scenario, Agency, function, occupational group, and segmented by non-reimbursable (NREIMB) or reimbursable (REIMB) positions.

This dataset is a dimension table that provides a list of every bus timepoint and whether it falls within or outside of Manhattan’s Central Business District.

This retired dataset provides financial information on total positions in Function/Department related to different MTA Agencies budgetary estimates and actuals. For a more comprehensive view of this data, please use MTA Headcount at data.ny.gov/d/ui26-n8p4.
