CITYWIDE — THE NEW SUBWAY CARS THAT THE MTA IS PROCURING will support ongoing conversion of lines to modern Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) signaling. These signal enhancements will allow the MTA to run more trains more frequently and reliably, resulting in improved service and less crowded stations and trains. Additionally, CBTC will allow for more accurate real-time train arrival information.
Signal modernization projects are currently underway on the A, C, E, F and G lines. Funding from congestion pricing will support the modernization of signals on the Fulton Street and Liberty Avenue lines of the A and C trains in Brooklyn and Queens, and the 6th Avenue line of the B, D, F and M trains in Manhattan.
Funding secured in the 2025-2029 Capital Plan will support further signal modernization efforts on the A train and Rockway Shuttle, the J and Z trains from the Williamsburg Bridge to Broad Street, and the N, Q, R and W trains in Manhattan and Astoria.
