It's been 3 weeks since Congestion Relief Zone tolling went into effect, and the program is working! We're seeing traffic move quicker into and within Manhattan, which benefits all New Yorkers—drivers, bus riders, emergency vehicle operators, pedestrians, and more. On the NYS Open Data portal, we’ve started releasing the most detailed view of traffic collected (so far) in NYC. This allows anyone to explore and see how this program is reshaping our shared streets. In our latest Data & Analytics blog post, our teams explain where this data comes from, how it can be analyzed, and more: https://lnkd.in/ew_eZhmB

We teamed up with UBS Arena and the New York Islanders to celebrate the one millionth ride to UBS Arena! 🎉 Steve and Michael, a father-son duo, were the lucky winners after taking the LIRR from Grand Central. They were greeted at Elmont – UBS Arena station by LIRR President Rob Free, former Islanders star Butch Goring, and others, who presented them with a special souvenir ticket. Whether you're heading to a game or a big event, this milestone proves that the LIRR is the most convenient option for getting to and from UBS Arena.

Two years ago today, we started full service at Grand Central Madison, providing a vital LIRR link to the east side of Manhattan and Metro-North Railroad. But let's look back even further, to 2013, during construction of what is now one of the platforms in our east side terminal. Here's the before and after. #ThrowbackThursday
