Addabbo Brings MetroCard Van to Ozone Park

For residents in need of accessing MetroCard services, State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. is partnering with the MTA to bring their MetroCard Van to Ozone Park. 

On Wednesday, October 30, 2024, the MTA MetroCard Van will be parked outside of the St. Mary Gate of Heaven Senior Center, located at 103-12 101st Avenue in Ozone Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to help constituents with their MetroCard needs.

The services offered at the Mobiles Sales Vehicles are:

•              Get help with a Reduced-Fare application;

•              Transfer MetroCard balances (Full fare and Reduced-Fare);

•              Exchange a damaged Reduced-Fare MetroCard for a temporary replacement;

•              Report a lost/stolen Reduced-Fare MetroCard; and

•              Ask our team about any MetroCard-related issues.

It should be noted that MTA Mobile Sales buses and vans are not making credit card transactions. You can still buy a MetroCard using cash or transfer value from a Reduced-Fare MetroCard.

"In an era where access to public transportation is more crucial than ever, bringing the MetroCard van to our community is very important,” Addabbo said. “This initiative not only helps ease the burden of commuting for our residents but also ensures that everyone has equal access to essential services. We must continue to advocate for resources that enhance mobility and connectivity, making our neighborhoods more accessible for all."
