FASTRACK comes to the G Line in Brooklyn

For four consecutive weeknights from June 6, to June 10 and for four weeknights from June 13 to June 17, Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) New York City Transit's (NYCT) FASTRACK program will come the G line in Brooklyn between Bedford-Nostrand Avs and Church Av.

“FASTRACK has proven to have a significant impact on decreasing delays – both in terms of consolidating maintenance forces in a concentrated area and in terms of proactive maintenance that improves service delivery,” said Wynton Habersham, senior vice president for the Department of Subways.

FASTRACK was introduced in January 2012, devoting four straight weeknights to perform maintenance work in tunnels, stations and on tracks, completely suspending service within a given line segment for a seven-hour period between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., allowing an army of maintenance workers to perform dozens of tasks. The next FASTRACK overnight closure will be on the A, C and E Lines between 59 St-Columbus Circle and Jay St-MetroTech from July 11 to July 15.
