The Long Island Rail Road announced it will suspend service systemwide beginning at 1 a.m. Monday due to the expected blizzard conditions.
“The Long Island Rail Road is the busiest commuter railroad in North America, carrying approximately 250,000 customers each weekday on 947 daily trains,” according to New York’s Metro transit Authority.
New Jersey Transit similarly announced that it will suspend its bus and light rail commuter service beginning at 6 p.m. Sunday.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced earlier Sunday that roads in the city, including highways and bridges, would be “closed to all vehicles,” including cars, trucks, scooters and e-bikes, beginning at 9 p.m. through noon on Monday in anticipation of the blizzard, except for “essential and emergency trips.”
Mamdani also declared a local state of emergency due to the blizzard, including cancelling school Monday.
