Instead, a panel of transportation experts is recommending increasing public bus service to LaGuardia Airport and then adding a shuttle bus between Queens subway stations and the airport.
Hochul ordered the project to be reviewed amid community opposition. She accepted the report's recommendation on Monday, officially ending the project."New Yorkers deserve world-class transportation to world-class airports. Shortly after taking office, I asked the Port Authority to thoroughly examine mass transit solutions for LaGuardia Airport that would reduce car traffic and increase connectivity, while meeting the demand of our customers.
The MTA is pledging to work with Port Authority to provide new direct airport shuttle service and work on improvements to the Q70 service that the panel recommended. "The MTA looks forward to continuing to work with the Port Authority as it rolls out its new direct airport shuttle service, improving connections to LaGuardia Airport. We also look forward to working cooperatively on the panel's recommendations regarding improvements to the Q70 bus service to LaGuardia from Woodside and Jackson Heights."
The new nonstop shuttle service would be between the airport and the last stop on the N/W subway line at the Astoria-Ditmars Blvd station. It would include the exclusive use of electric buses and dedicated bus lanes.-Transit signal priority on Roosevelt Ave and Broadway to minimize travel time. -A mile-long exclusive bus lane built on the shoulder of the northbound Brooklyn-Queens Expressway between Northern Blvd and Astoria Blvd, subject to federal, state and local approvals, to increase service reliability between Jackson Heights and LaGuardia Airport.-A new, specially-designated bus pick-up and drop-off area near Terminal C with direct, exclusive road access to avoid congestion on the airport frontage.
