When Will Download 2023 Line Up Be Announced

Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the MTA will begin its fare free bus pilot on five routes, one in each borough, that will now collectively serve 43,900 daily weekday riders by late September this year for a period of six to 12 months. Routes were chosen based on a variety of factors, including ridership, fare evasion, service adequacy, equity for low-income and economically disadvantaged communities, and access to employment and commercial activity.

This comes weeks after the first phase of previously announced weekend service increases on the G, J and M lines. These enhancements were made possible by a $35 million contribution from the FY 2024 New York State Budget to increase subway service. The multi-phase approach will increase service across several train lines during weekday midday, weeknights, and weekends, and the second phase will begin next month, where additional midday and weekend service will be added. In addition to the increased service, a second R211 train was put in service on the A line last month.

Empire State Development President, CEO & Commissioner Hope Knight said, "The High Line-Moynihan Connector demonstrates the positive progress that can be achieved when the public, private, and non-profit sectors pursue productive partnerships. Projects that improve the public realm are an investment in New York's future, and thanks to Governor Hochul's support, the High Line-Moynihan Connector will not only benefit commuters, residents, and visitors, but also spur further economic development on Manhattan's West Side."

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said, "It is vital that pedestrians have easy, safe access to public transportation when navigating the heart of Manhattan. The opening of this connector will help countless pedestrians navigate Manhattan safely and provide easy access between public spaces and public transit. I am proud to support Governor Hochul's efforts to expand pedestrian access and improve pedestrian safety for New Yorkers and visitors alike."

Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the completion of the Central East Energy Connect transmission project, which is an upgrade of transmission lines between Marcy in Oneida County and New Scotland in Albany County to relieve congestion and enable integration of more renewable energy into the state power grid. The 93-mile transmission line project involved the installation of more than 650 new steel transmission monopoles as well as the construction of two new state-of-the-art transmission substations at Gordon Road in Rotterdam, and in Princetown, both in Schenectady County, which will allow for increased power transfer capacity and more reliable transmission. The newly rebuilt transmission corridor can carry nearly five times the amount of electricity as the old lines, enough to power approximately 2 million homes. The New York Power Authority President and CEO Justin E. Driscoll celebrated the completion of the project today accompanied by LS Power CEO Paul Segal, and President and CEO of the New York Independent System Operator Rich Dewey, along with other state energy and environment representatives.

"As construction begins on this project to help deliver clean energy to New York City, our state is setting yet another example of what climate action looks like," Governor Hochul said. "The Champlain Hudson Power Express transmission line is a monumental step toward protecting our environment and creating family-sustaining, green jobs in both upstate and downstate New York. In partnership with union labor, this green infrastructure project will bring billions of dollars in economic benefits to our state and will pave the way for cleaner air and a healthier future for all New Yorkers."

Champlain Hudson Power Express is the first of two historic projects to start construction under the State's first-of-its-kind renewable energy and transmission program, known as Tier 4, that is administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. The program aims to responsibly deliver a significant increase of renewable energy to New York City, an area of the state that relies on aging fossil fuel-fired generation located largely in underserved communities, experiences the most significant air quality issues and health impacts from fossil fuel emissions, and has a marked need for improved grid reliability and resiliency. Once completed, Champlain Hudson Power Express will deliver 1,250 megawatts of clean hydroelectricity, enough to power over one million homes, and will reduce carbon emissions by 37 million metric tons statewide, the equivalent of taking over half a million cars off the road every year. The transmission line is expected to be fully operational in the spring of 2026.

This milestone comes after the New York State Public Service Commission approved the project's first Environmental Management and Construction Plan for a 17.6-mile stretch of the transmission route between Putnam and Whitehall. The initial stage of construction activities, including site preparation and construction of a laydown yard, will begin in Washington County, near Whitehall, and is anticipated to continue through November 2024. A map of the transmission line can be found here.

New York State Energy Research and Development Authority President and CEO, and Climate Action Council Co-Chair, Doreen M. Harris said, "With construction beginning on the Champlain Hudson Power Express project, we are helping solidify New York's transition away from fossil fuels and demonstrate to the nation how strategic private-public partnerships can help us tackle some of our toughest energy challenges head-on. As the first of two historic transmission developments to break ground, Champlain Hudson Power Express is helping to usher in the grid of the future - all while New York continues to build the most robust public renewables pipeline in the nation that will power homes and businesses for years to come."

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner and Climate Action Council Co-Chair Basil Seggos said, "Congratulations to Governor Hochul and partners for continuing to accelerate New York's transition to a greener future with this exciting clean energy milestone. The transmission line is the latest in a series of significant, generational investments to advance renewable energy technologies like wind, solar, and hydroelectric that will help us meet our ambitious climate goals while supporting local jobs and helping deliver clean energy to consumers across New York State."

Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Hope Knight said, "The Champlain Hudson Power Express transmission line will help advance Governor Hochul's ambitious clean energy goals for New York State, while also creating nearly 1,400 jobs for New Yorkers. The transmission line is 339 miles long, but the $3.5 billion in economic benefits it represents goes much further in terms of both renewable energy and New York's sustainable future."

CEO of Hydro-Qubec Sophie Brochu said, "This new transmission line linking the largest generator of clean renewable energy in North America with New York City will change the energy landscape of our entire region. The CHPE is, in a way, a conduit for many meaningful things - large volumes of hydroelectricity to reliably power homes and businesses without burning fossil fuels to do so; a community investment approach which is grounded in principles of social justice and new partnerships with Indigenous communities, such as our Mohawk friends from Kahnaw:ke, who are with us here today. Decarbonization is our common goal, and we intend to continue to be your ally, supplying climate-friendly energy to New York for many more decades to come."

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said, "This is a historic day in the city's and state's mobilization against climate change and a nation-leading win for environmental justice. I applaud the Commission, NYSERDA, and Governor Hochul for taking bold action to end the disparate access to renewable energy that has plagued our city for far too long. The completion of the Champlain Hudson Power Express transmission line will enable the closure of some of the oldest and most polluting power plants in the state, which are located near communities whose residents suffer disproportionately from respiratory and cardiovascular disease. This project is also a major investment in the green economy, with its creation of family-sustaining union jobs, which will help create a healthier, more equitable, and sustainable New York City."

Chair of Warren-Washington Industrial Development Agency Dave O'Brien said, "The transmission line being built by CHPE will bring a substantial benefit to Washington County over the course of the next thirty years. Not only will there be a benefit from the construction and purchase of materials and services alone, there will be $283 million in benefit packages and PILOTS paid to the villages, towns, school districts, and the county allowing the jurisdictions to make much needed major upgrades and improvements in schools, roads, and public facilities."

The Line (styled THE LINE; Arabic: ) is a linear smart city under construction in Saudi Arabia in Neom, Tabuk Province, which is designed to have no cars, streets or carbon emissions.[2][3] The 170-kilometre-long (110 mi) city is one of the nine announced regions of Neom and is a part of Saudi Vision 2030 project, which Saudi Arabia claims will create around 460,000 jobs and add an estimated $48 billion to the country's GDP.[2] The Line is planned to be the first development of a $500 billion project in Neom. The city's plans anticipate a population of 9 million -- 25% of Saudi Arabia's current population of 35.5 million.[4] Excavation work had started along the entire length of the project by October 2022. 006ab0faaa
