The Metropolitan Transportation Authority began a $1.9 billion signal and track replacement program covering 42 track miles in Brooklyn and Queens. Siemens was contracted to supply Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) equipment to replace the oldest signal systems in the New York City Transit subway network. The project aims to allow for faster, safer, and more reliable service on the A and C lines.
