Construction of an AirTrain connection to LaGuardia Airport is part of the New York infrastructure plan

announced Tuesday by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. At an estimated cost of $450 million, the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority will build a rail connection that links LaGuardia with Mets-Willets Point Station in Queens and provides access to both the subway and Long Island Rail Road, according to Cuomo. Currently, LaGuardia is accessible only by car or bus. The announcement did not include a timeline for the project.
