The Metro-North Commuter Railroad , trading as MTA Metro-North Railroad or simply Metro-North, is a suburban commuter rail service run by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority , a public authority of the U.S. state of New York. Metro-North runs service between New York City and its northern suburbs in New York and Connecticut, including Port Jervis, Spring Valley, Poughkeepsie, White Plains, and Wassaic in New York and Stamford, New Canaan, Danbury, Waterbury, and New Haven in Connecticut. Metro-North also provides local rail service within New York City at a reduced fare. Metro-North is the descendant of commuter rail services dating back as early as 1832. By 1976, these lines became part of Conrail. The system took its current form in 1983, when MTA took over Conrail's commuter operations in the northern portion of the New York metropolitan area and formed Metro-North to run them. There are 124 stations on Metro-North Railroad's five active lines , which operate on more than 787 miles of track, with the passenger railroad system totaling 385 miles of route. With an average weekday ridership of 298,300 in 2017, it is the third-busiest commuter railroad in North America in terms of annual ridership, behind its sister railroad, the Long Island Rail Road. As of 2018, Metro-North's budgetary burden for expenditures was $1.3 billion, which it supports through the collection of taxes and fees.The MTA has jurisdiction, through Metro-North, over railroad lines on the western and eastern portions of the Hudson River in New York. Service on the western side of the Hudson is operated by New Jersey Transit under contract with the MTA.
