Through the Permanent Art Program, MTA Arts & Design (formerly Arts for Transit) commissions public art that is seen by millions of city-dwellers as well as national and international visitors who use the MTA’s subways and trains. Arts & Design works closely with the architects and engineers at MTA NYC Transit, Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad to determine the parameters and sites for the artwork that is to be incorporated into each station scheduled for renovation. A diversity of well-established, mid-career and emerging artists contribute to the growing collection of works created in the materials of the system -mosaic, ceramic, tile, bronze, steel and glass. Artists are chosen through a competitive process that uses selection panels comprised of visual arts professionals and community representatives which review and select artists. This data provides the branch or station and the artist and artwork information.

This dataset includes monthly customer feedback performance metric data for NYCT. For Subways, Buses, Access-A-Ride, MetroCard, and Other NYCT, there is data on the total number of complaints and commendations, and the number of complaints and commendations per 100,000 riders, along with monthly ridership.

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

Wait Assessment measures how regularly trains are spaced during peak hours at selected timepoints on each line.

Passenger Environment Survey indicators combine the results of surveys of a number of different aspects of bus vehicle and operating conditions to measure passenger comfort and convenience.

Terminal On-Time Performance measures the percentage of trains arriving at their destination terminals as scheduled. This dataset covers data between 2015 and 2019. For data from 2020 on, use dataset https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-Subway-Terminal-On-Time-Performance-Beginning-/vtvh-gimj.

This dataset provides data on how fast buses are traveling between pairs of subsequent timepoints (the major stops on a bus route) for every bus route in the system. It will provide the average speed in miles per hour between pairs of timepoints, the average travel time in minutes, the road distance in miles, and the number of bus trips for each bus route aggregated by month, day of the week, and hour of day. It also provides the type of bus trip (Local, Limited, SBS, Express, School), the borough of the bus route, the names of the timepoints, their coordinates, and the stop sequence order of the first two timepoints in a pair.

Weekday Pull Out Performance is a monthly legacy service performance metric that indicates the percent of required buses and operators available in the AM and PM peak periods.

Service Delivered measures the percentage of scheduled trains that are actually provided during peak hours on weekdays (7 AM to 10 AM and 4 PM to 7 PM) and weekends (10 AM to 6 PM) for a given month. This dataset covers data between 2015 and 2019. For data from 2020 on, use dataset https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-Subway-Service-Delivered-Beginning-2020/bg59-42xi.

Service Delivered measures the percentage of scheduled buses that are actually provided during peak hours. This dataset covers data between 2015 and 2019. For data from 2020 on, use https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-Bus-Service-Delivered-Beginning-2020/2e6s-9gpm.

Wait Assessment measures how regularly trains are spaced during peak hours at selected timepoints on each line.

Mean Distance Between Failures reports how frequently bus mechanical problems cause delays.

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 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. 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).

Mean Distance Between Service Interruptions is the average distance traveled by a bus between all delays and/or inconveniences to customers.

The number of reportable job-related incidents that result in the inability of an employee to perform full job duties for at least one working day beyond the day of the incident, as well as a breakdown of the number of Employees and Lost Time Accident Rates.

This dataset provided statistics and performance metrics about the volume and responsiveness in engaging with customers via several customer engagement channels. Data was provided for New York City Transit Subway and Bus customer engagement and customer service teams between May 2017 and May 2022.

Wait Assessment measures how evenly buses are spaced. This dataset covers data from 2020 and on. For data between 2015 and 2019, use dataset https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-Bus-Wait-Assessment-2015-2019/bmix-dpzc.

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 an estimate of subway travel patterns based on scaled-up OMNY and MetroCard return swipe data. It provides estimated passenger volumes for all populated origin-destination (O-D) pairs aggregated by month, day of the week, and hour of day. It also provides the name, ID, and approximate latitude and longitude of the origin and destination subway complexes.

Bus Speeds measure how quickly buses travel along their routes. This dataset covers data from 2020 and on. For data between 2015 and 2019, use dataset https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-Bus-Speeds-2015-2019/cudb-vcni.
