"The visioning process came on the heels of Gov. Kathy Hochul's announcement in January that she would earmark $50 million in the new state budget to redesign the station, which serves as a convergence point for local, regional and international travelers through the JFK AirTrain, the Long Island Rail Road, and the E and J/Z subway trains."
"Jamaica Station is the fourth busiest train hub in the nation. In addition to in-person tabling, the MTA and Port Authority posted signage with QR codes that will allow travelers to give input on Jamaica Station's upcoming makeover."
"Jamaica Station is more than a transit hub, it's a daily touchpoint for families throughout Queens, said Comrie. As we look ahead, we want to ensure that the redesign meets the needs of the community."
Transit officials have initiated the planning for Jamaica Station's redesign, launching a public outreach campaign to gather commuter feedback. The MTA and Port Authority will be present at the station to collect input, and QR codes have been posted for easy access to feedback. This process follows a $50 million budget earmarked by Gov. Kathy Hochul for the station's redesign. Jamaica Station is a crucial transit hub, serving local and international travelers, but funding is pending Albany's budget approval.
