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.

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.

This 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, Bridges and Tunnels and Staten Island Railway on a monthly basis.

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 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 provides a detailed breakout of the dedicated taxes and subsidies received from the State of New York and businesses, individuals and localities in the MTA region. This data is obtained from the MTA’s annual budgeting process and is available for each month of a fiscal year, on both an accrual (represented as NREIMB) and a cash basis. Data is categorized by budget scenario, Agency, Financial Plan Year, and subcategories for types of subsidies.

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 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.

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.

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.
