The Port Authority Trans Hudson (PATH), operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, will suspend service on most weekends on the 33rd Street line in Manhattan starting in early August as part of a comprehensive, federally-mandated safety initiative to install a new computerized signal system designed to improve passenger service and safety.
At the center of the project is installation of Positive Train Control (PTC), an updated safety-enhanced system that the federal government has mandated to be completed by the end of 2018.
Allotting this work time is vital to upgrading PATH to improve current and future service. In addition to safety enhancements, this work will provide PATH riders with increased reliability in the future, as well as lay the groundwork for increased passenger capacity.
