Support Our Vision

Make a Gift

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.
