The New York State Department of Transportation was awarded a $3.1 million Project Grant from the Federal Transit Administration's Rail Fixed Guideway Public Transportation System State Safety Oversight Formula Grant Program (CFDA 20.528). The grant will support the Department's Enhanced NYS State Safety Oversight Program through September 2031.
Under this program, the Department will provide ongoing safety oversight of rail transit systems in New York, including the MTA New York City Transit subway system and the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority metro rail system in the Buffalo area. Specifically, the Department will monitor and enforce safety at these rail fixed guideway systems not regulated by the Federal Railroad Administration, helping to improve public transportation safety in New York as intended under the FTA grant program.
