MTA Essential Service During the Coronavirus Pandemic

Updated May 4, 2020

Beginning Wednesday, May 6, at 1 a.m., there will be no subway service from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. while we disinfect trains and stations.

We’re operating MTA Essential Service during the COVID-19 pandemic so we can get health-care workers, first responders, and other essential personnel where they need to go. We’re running as much service as we can with the crews who are healthy and available to work, but service on many lines is limited.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo is requiring everyone in New York to wear masks or face coverings when they’re out in public.

Please: If you’re not traveling for work related to an essential business, or for urgent personal business like a medical appointment, do not use the subway or take the bus. We need to keep our limited capacity available for people who must travel.

Here's how the New York State on PAUSE executive order defines essential businesses.

Overnight transportation for essential workers

We’re here to get essential workers where they're going, at all hours of the day and night. Plan an alternative trip for when subway service isn't running, and learn more about our Essential Connector program.
