Roosevelt Island Tramway Address: 1141 2nd Ave New York, NY 10022 street in Manhattan

Roosevelt Island Tramway, ManhattanThe Roosevelt Island Tramway is an aerial tramway in New York City that spans the East River and connects Roosevelt Island to the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The tramway is the first commuter aerial tramway in North America, having opened in 1976. Since then, over 26 million passengers have ridden the tram. The tram consists of two cars that run back and forth on two parallel tracks. It is one of the few forms of mass transit in New York City not run by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, although it follows the same fare structure and transfer policy as the subway system. Fares are paid with either MetroCard or OMNY at turnstiles in each terminal. The tram is operated by Leitner-Poma on behalf of the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation of the State of New York, a state public benefit corporation created in 1984 to run services on the island.
