The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey quarterly produces a data file and provides information on Shared Ride reservations. Shared Ride activity is defined as multiple stop “door to door” services by authorized providers. Although both reservation and passenger number for Shared Ride are simultaneously registered at the Port Authority’s Welcome Center when an individual makes a reservation, the Port Authority’s Ground Transportation Information System (GTIS) counts reservation numbers and passenger numbers separately as one reservation can have multiple passengers. This Shared Ride Reservation dataset reflects only the Shared Ride passengers.

NYCT Paratransit ridership measures both total trips, the count of trips provided to registered NYCT Paratransit clients in a given month, and total ridership, the count of personal care attendants (PCAs) and guests who join clients on the trips.

Reflects the total number of registrants for paratransit service by borough/county per month.

This dataset provides subway ridership estimates on an hourly basis by subway station complex and class of fare payment.

This dataset provides bus ridership estimates on an hourly basis by bus route and class of fare payment.

These metrics reflect the quality of fare collection by LIRR conductors, as observed by MTA Auditors.

This retired dataset contains information on entry/exit values for individual control areas and is posted purely for archival purposes. More detailed subway ridership data is now supported through the Subway hourly dataset (https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-Subway-Hourly-Ridership-Beginning-February-202/wujg-7c2s).

This dataset provides the load percentage for each express bus route at its maximum load point (the bus stop where the highest number of passengers are on the bus) by direction, hour, day type (weekday, weekends and holidays), aggregated by week.

Drop-off On-Time Performance (OTP) measures the quality of provider service, comparing actual to customer-requested drop-off time for trips scheduled with an appointment time. Trips are considered on-time if they are no more than 30 minutes early, and no later than the appointment time.

Quarterly estimated Fare Evasion rate for Subways with margin of error. Rate estimated using surveys conducted by traffic checkers and applying stratified sampling.

This metric tracks the monthly dollar amount of chargebacks and the percentage of transactions that have been disputed with the customer receiving a refund.

Pickup On-Time Performance (OTP) measures the quality of provider service, comparing actual to promised pickup time. Trips are considered on-time if they arrive no more than 20 minutes after the promised time. This dataset also includes trips that arrive within 15 and 30 minutes of the promised time.

Ride Time measures customer trip duration. Actual vs. Scheduled presents travel time variance, Average Travel Time presents the average actual trip duration, and Max Ride Time by trip distance category.

Max Ride Time Performance presents the percentage of trips performed with Access-A-Ride’s established max ride time standards between 2018 and 2023. This dataset is now retired as this metric can be calculated from MTA NYCT Paratransit Ride Time (https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-NYCT-Paratransit-Ride-Time-Beginning-2017/wtm4-vjm7/).

This archival dataset shows the number of MetroCard swipes made each week by customers entering each station of the New York City Subway, Staten Island Railway, PATH, AirTrain JFK and the Roosevelt Island Tram, broken out to show the relative popularity of the various types of MetroCards. Please use the subway hourly ridership dataset (https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-Subway-Hourly-Ridership-Beginning-February-202/wujg-7c2s/) for up-to-date data which includes OMNY fares

This indicator shows the number of subway and bus journeys made each month by passengers using Reduced-Fare MetroCards between 2018 and 2023. This dataset is now retired, with data on reduced-fare usage of the transit system available in the hourly bus (https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-Bus-Hourly-Ridership-Beginning-February-2022/kv7t-n8in/) and subway (https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-Subway-Hourly-Ridership-Beginning-February-202/wujg-7c2s/) ridership datasets.

This retired dataset contains information on entry/exit values for individual control areas and is posted purely for archival purposes.

The daily ridership dataset provides systemwide ridership and traffic estimates for subways (including the Staten Island Railway), buses, Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North Railroad, Access-A-Ride, and Bridges and Tunnels, beginning 3/1/2020, and provides a percentage comparison against a comparable pre-pandemic date.

The bus fare evasion (BFE) rate is the estimated percentage of riders who illegally board buses. It is calculated systemwide quarterly using Automated Passenger Counters. Rates are calculated and reported separately for Local/Limited, Express and Select Bus Service. Prior to Q1 2020, fare evasion was estimated using surveys conducted by traffic checkers.

This dataset includes the following safety metrics: customer accident rate, grade crossing incidents, train derailments, train collisions, lost time accident rate, lost time injury rate, employee lost time days.

Drop-off On-Time Performance (OTP) measures the quality of provider service, comparing actual to customer-requested drop-off time for trips scheduled with an appointment time. This dataset uses the old methodology in which trips were considered on-time if they arrived at the drop-off location no more than five minutes after the requested time. The Drop-off On-Time Performance dataset with the new methodology can be found at https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-NYCT-Paratransit-Drop-off-On-Time-Performance-/nxai-wcbd/
