## Resource

The Interborough Express is finally moving forward — a new light rail line connecting Brooklyn and Queens with 18 stations, linking 17 subway lines and the LIRR. Four key stations will be fully accessible first, paving the way for universal access across the entire route. This game-changing transit project could serve 900,000 residents and move 160,000 riders daily, slashing cross-borough commutes. Governor Hochul’s backing and an accelerated environmental review signal serious momentum — potentially launching NYC’s first new rapid transit system since 1937, at a $5.5 billion cost.
