We. Love. Maps. They’re hands down one of the best ways to visualize just how transformational QueensLink truly is. These stunning isochrone maps answer the question: just how far can you get in one hour on existing subways (NO BUILD) vs. with QueensLink (BUILD)?

Thank you for everyone who showed up to the in-person and virtual hearing to give their spoken testimonies, it was a long journey but we made it! With a myriad of impassioned speeches in support of the project, we couldn't be more proud of our #RailsandTrails movement!

This is the wrong decision for transit in New York. Existing rights-of-way that travel through dense, under-served neighborhoods do not grow on trees, and it's a massive own goal for any city to not take advantage of them. No plan does this better than @queenslink.org.

Here we are again. We thought @mayor.nyc.gov @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social would be different. But unfortunately on the issue of Queens' Next Subway, he isn't budging. Fortunately, it's not over yet. City Council is holding their FINAL public hearing on the budget on JUNE 10th @ 9:30am @ City Hall.

There's been some talk about reopening the Woodhaven LIRR station on the Atlantic Branch. While a considerable project in it's own right, we envision the Woodhaven LIRR Station as part of the QueensLink proposal and we fully support efforts to reopen it!

Why are we advocating for the M+G service pattern on QueensLink? Here's what NYU's ridership report found!

QueensLink @queenslink.org · 31/03/2026
Where are these riders coming from? Of the 65,000 new boardings (riders induced by QueensLink, distinct from the 10,000 riders who divert from other subway routes like the A), Queens Boulevard and the Rockaways both see a healthy increase, along with 20,700 new boardings at the 4 new stations!
0101
QueensLink @queenslink.org · 31/03/2026
In our newest report using STOPS data from NYU, the QueensLink corridor sees 75,000 daily riders! That's 92% more than than the last estimate of 39,000 daily riders in the MTA's 20 Year Needs Assessment.

South Queens is in a full blown Transportation Crisis. @mayor.nyc.gov’s preliminary budget has kept $43 million in funding for the anti-transit scheme QueensWay. As designed, QueensWay would prevent a future north-south subway in Queens from ever being built.
