The federal transportation bill gives the region several tools to dig a new train tunnel under the Hudson River.

Local politicians hailed the bill as "tremendous news" for New Yorkers. But it's the Northeast Corridor that could experience the most transformation.

A routine New York City Council Transportation Committee hearing turned up a staggering statistic: tens of thousands of drivers flee crashes each year.

A painted bunting is currently noshing on seeds in Prospect Park.

So far this year, traffic fatalities are down in New York City by 11 percent. That's a significant drop  — and it bucks the national trend.

Following a dismal football season marked by scandal, the university has fired both its athletic director and football coach.

Patrick Foye, who has led the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey through some of its most turbulent times (read: Bridgegate), will be stepping down within the next few months.

Every cab ride in New York City charges a 50-cent fee dedicated to the city's transit system. But ride-hailing services like Uber don't pay that. And that has the MTA worried.

NJ Transit is experiencing an annus horribilis.  It hiked fares to close a budget gap. It's losing talent. And the future doesn't look much better.

The MTA wants to spend tens of millions of dollars on new buses. But the city's transportation commissioner wants to make sure they do a better job of avoiding pedestrians.

Washington and the Port Authority make a deal on who's paying what for the new Gateway Tunnel, and how they will share in making decisions.  

Low ridership and high crime led the city's transit system to close dozens of subway entrances decades ago. But those decisions are causing problems now. 

As part of an annual design competition, local teams of designers and engineers build sculptures out of cans of food. This year, the MTA's entry is a sly nod to subway etiquette.

A 32-year-old audio-kinetic sculpture that once provided some whimsy in the otherwise dismal bus terminal is gone.

A massive — if also very expensive — solution to one of New York City's commuting connundrums is taking shape in a cavern deep under East Midtown. 

Beginning in May, the MTA began asking for more money from the city in order to get the next phase of the Second Avenue Subway built. So how did its funding get gutted?

The MTA board has formally passed its latest five-year, $26 billion capital spending plan. But while some new projects were included, the Second Avenue Subway was the big loser.

The Port's board took what it's calling an "important first step" in replacing its aging bus terminal. But there are a lot of unknowns.

The agency's viewpoint-neutral ad policy was supposed to fix a problem. But enforcing it has raised new issues.

When NJ Transit announced it was slashing some service due to budget cuts, it didn't mention all the specifics. Now the reality of new late-night service is infuriating some riders.
