Winter Storm 2026 Service Update
A winter storm has brought heavy snowfall to our area. Customers are strongly advised to avoid travel.
Our crews have prepared by salting outdoor areas at stations, deploying snow-fighting equipment, and monitoring switches and tracks. But we’re also taking precautions to ensure trains and buses can operate safely, and there will be service changes on subways, buses, the Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North Railroad, and Access-A-Ride. Keep reading to see those changes.
Our customers’ safety is our top priority. If you must travel, keep these things in mind:
Allow yourself extra travel time.
Use extra caution, especially on stairs, platforms, and when boarding or exiting trains and buses.
Check service status on the MTA or TrainTime apps, or on our website.
Chat with us in our apps if you have questions about service.
Sign up for real-time email or SMS alerts to get updates on service as they happen.
Stay safe, and thanks for riding with us.
Subway
train service is suspended.
Some express trains are running local. Expect delays, some of which could be severe, especially on lines that run outdoors. We will update the service status box if your train is impacted.
Bus
Expect longer waits for local buses, since we’ve removed articulated buses from service during the storm.
Long Island Rail Road
LIRR service is fully suspended until further notice. Check the TrainTime app or our website for details on service. We will restore train service once it is safe to do so.
Metro-North Railroad
On Monday, Metro-North will operate on a reduced schedule on the Hudson, Harlem, and New Haven lines, including the Wassaic, New Canaan, Danbury, and Waterbury branches.
The Hudson Rail Link connecting bus will be suspended. The shuttle buses that have been substituting for the Haverstraw-Ossining Ferry due to river ice will also be suspended.
West of Hudson service on the Port Jervis and Pascack Valley lines is temporarily suspended as of Sunday evening. Visit NJ Transit’s website for updates.
Access-A-Ride
Access-A-Ride Paratransit will not be taking any reservations after 9 p.m. Sunday, to coincide with New York City’s traffic ban. Paratransit customers can call for updates on when service will resume and reservations can be made again.
