MTA Service Alerts: Beginning April 2020
Service alerts in the MTA system are generated to inform passengers of both scheduled and unscheduled events that affect the transit network. These events can range from planned maintenance and construction activities to unexpected incidents such as accidents, track maintenance or planned work and more. The process of creating alerts involves the continuous monitoring of the transit system, including station locations, track statuses, and external factors that might impact service. When a potential disruption is identified, an alert is generated to provide passengers with timely and accurate information about how their travel might be affected.
