NFTA Metro Transit Expansion
This project will extend high capacity transit service from NFTA-Metro Rail University Station out through the University at Buffalo North Campus. It would link all three UB campuses with high capacity transit and provide a seamless connection through the region’s largest concentration of housing and employment, health care, education, and entertainment clusters.
In August 2021, the Federal Transit Administration issued a Notice of Intent to prepare environmental documents for a public transit enhancement in the region as Lead Agency in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. The estimated completion date of the Environmental Review is by the end of 2024. Now that the process is underway, the region is positioned to advance the project further into design and funding.
