MTA Staten Island Railway Opens Station; Part of MTA Plan for Area
The New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) recently opened the Arthur Kill Station—the first new Staten Island Railway station built by the MTA since it incorporated the private rail line into its network in 1971.
The $27.4 million station replaces two others, Nassau and Atlantic, which will be demolished. It is ADA compliant and offers a new 150-spot parking lot and a bus transfer point.
The MTA 2015-2019 Capital Program includes $386 million of investments and improvements to Staten Island Railway, including replacement of the car fleet and three new power substations to increase supply to the line, allowing for service flexibility and reliability. More than 16,000 customers ride the 29-mile railway on an average weekday.
