New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo revealed plans to build an elevated “AirTrain” rail link that would run from the airport to a rail transit hub about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from LaGuardia. The Willets Point Station, which would be expanded under the proposal, would offer links to New York’s No. 7 subway line as well as to the Long Island Rail Road commuter rail line. The rail link would be built in the same style as the existing AirTrain railroads that connect New York’s two other big airports to the region’s rail network, the JFK AirTrain and the Newark AirTrain.
