The Queens Bus Network Redesign is a historic effort to bring new and improved transit service to New York’s largest borough. We’ve worked iteratively over the last five years to develop and refine proposals that meet riders’ needs, modernize service, and improve operations for our workforce.

The third and most recent vision for the bus network, the Proposed Final Plan, was released in December 2023. We conducted extensive public outreach, and used the feedback shared through the outreach to further refine the plan. The result of this work is the Proposed Final Plan Addendum (Addendum), released on December 17, 2024. The Addendum reflects the months of community input the MTA received on the Proposed Final Plan and is the last report for this project. The Addendum includes an Equity Evaluation, available in Appendix D.

The MTA Board approved the Queens Bus Network Redesign Proposed Final Plan Addendum on January 29, 2025. Check back soon for updates about implementation.

The Proposed Final Plan outreach campaign has taken our teams across Queens to listen to the diverse array of stakeholders that depend on bus service. Throughout 2023 and 2024, the MTA completed over 70 events to talk to stakeholders and riders about the Proposed Final Plan, including:

This feedback helped give our planning team a better understanding of where the plan met riders’ needs, and where the proposals needed revisions. Explore the Proposed Final Plan Addendum and the Comment Themes by Route table to see how the project team incorporated public feedback.
