Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Chair and CEO Janno Lieber appeared on FOX Weather to outline transit service adjustments amid the massive Northeast blizzard hitting February 22–23, 2026. While trains and buses remain operational, several modifications have been implemented to ensure passenger safety. Lieber reassured commuters, stating, “The MTA is here for you,” emphasizing the agency’s commitment to service despite challenging conditions.

Subway operations are continuing with delays, and the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) will suspend service starting at 6 p.m. Sunday. Articulated buses have been removed from service for safety reasons, and New Jersey Transit has halted its light rail and bus operations by evening. Metro-North schedules have also been reduced to accommodate the severe weather.

The blizzard has prompted travel bans and warnings across New York and surrounding states, stranding millions of residents and travelers. Regional alerts and MTA notifications have guided commuters to plan ahead and exercise caution while navigating limited transit options. Officials continue monitoring the storm’s impact to adjust services in real time, balancing operational capacity with public safety.
