MTA officials are making a push to open up the mass transit system to better serve riders who use bikes and scooters for part of their commute.
"There's tremendous growth in the use of micro-mobility devices and that gives us the chance ability to extend the reach of the transit system as the alternative to driving to many areas that may not have a rail system nearby," MTA Chairman Janno Lieber said.
"I would be able to take a bike easily if I could park it right by the train station," the resident said. "It would actually make it easier to get off of the train and come back home."There are also plans to add bike racks to the front of some buses on routes that cross bridges. New technology will help users map out multimodal commutes that take advantage of biking and scootering.
The MTA isn't offering a timeline for the projects but they all fall under the bigger strategy of connectivity and conservation.
