Housing Information

Transportation details: Most participants will travel to work using public transportation, primarily through the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). The MTA runs the New York City Subway and Bus System, which operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, across all five boroughs. It is the most reliable and affordable way to get around the city.
A single subway or bus ride costs approximately $2.90, and participants can purchase Unlimited MetroCards for 7-day or 30-day periods, which offer unlimited rides for a fixed price. MetroCards can be purchased at machines inside subway stations or by using OMNY, the city’s tap-to-pay system. You can use a debit or credit card by tapping it at the turnstile. Always keep your MetroCard or payment card in a safe place and budget for daily transportation costs.
Walking and taking public transportation are the safest and most practical ways to get to work. Rideshare services such as Uber or Lyft are available but can be expensive due to heavy city traffic and surge pricing. These should be used only when public transportation feels unsafe or when traveling very late at night.
Do not purchase or use electric scooters or e-bikes. These devices are a serious safety and fire hazard. The lithium batteries used in them can explode or catch fire while charging, and New York City has reported multiple deaths and apartment fires caused by these devices. Storing or charging one indoors can violate fire codes and your lease agreement.
Scooter and e-bike accidents are also a major cause of severe injuries and fatalities in New York City. The traffic is dense, unpredictable, and unsafe for riders. Many participants have been injured because they underestimated the risk. For your safety and the safety of others, do not buy, rent, or ride scooters or e-bikes during your program.
Plan all travel using Google Maps, Moovit, or www.rome2rio.com to estimate time and check route updates. Subway delays and crowds are common during rush hours, so plan to leave early for every shift
