New York City Transit Exhibit Tote Bag for 50th anniversary on a rattan seat

Support Our Vision

Celebrate this milestone with us

This year marks an extraordinary milestone: the 50th Anniversary of the New York Transit Museum. Every gift supports what has become the largest museum in North America dedicated to mass transit. This institution is beloved by so many because it creates meaningful educational and cultural experiences for today’s audiences.

The New York Transit Museum relies on support from donors to tell and preserve the stories of mass transportation – extraordinary engineering feats, workers who labored in the tunnels over 100 years ago, communities that were drastically transformed, and the ever-evolving technology, design, and ridership of a system that runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Your gift to Friends of the New York Transit Museum will help us care for our collections, create new exhibits, and present engaging programming for toddlers, seniors, and everyone in between.
