The leaves are changing, and they're falling from the trees 🍂 They may make a pretty sight, but they can be a hassle on the tracks! When trains run over fallen leaves, they leave a slippery coating on the rail that causes train wheels to slide. Learn more about this seasonal issue, and how we're tackling it: mta.info/guides/weather-serv…

Safety first! When approaching a grade crossing, remember to: ✅ Stand at least 15 feet away. ✅ Wait until the gates are completely raised, and the lights stop flashing. ✅ Look both ways before walking.

A Nor'easter is expected to bring strong winds and coastal flooding to our area this weekend. Our crews are ready to respond, but there may be changes to subway, bus, or rail service. Check the latest service status on mta.info, or in the MTA app and TrainTime apps. Use caution if you’re traveling, especially when entering or exiting buses and trains. Stay safe, and thank you for riding with us.
