History

Founded in 1976, the New York Transit Museum is dedicated to telling and preserving the stories of mass transportation - extraordinary engineering feats, workers who labored in the tunnels over 100 years ago, communities that were drastically transformed, and the ever-evolving technology, design, and ridership of a system that runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
