About TodayIn

TodayIn is a free, real-time city intelligence dashboard. It brings together the most important daily information for New Yorkers — MTA subway status, alternate side parking rules, weather, local news, sports scores, and city events — into a single, fast-loading page. No app download, no account required.

Yes — TodayIn is completely free. There is no subscription, no account, and no app to install. The dashboard works in any modern browser on desktop or mobile.

TodayIn NYC is currently in active development. New York City is our first city. To be notified when the full dashboard goes live, send an email to hello@todayin.world with the subject line “Notify me at launch.”

Yes. TodayIn is built as a multi-city platform. NYC is our flagship launch city, with Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Toronto, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, and Sydney planned for future expansion. Each city will have its own dedicated dashboard at todayin.world/[city].

TodayIn aggregates data from official and authoritative public sources only. Subway status comes from the MTA's real-time data feeds. Alternate side parking status is sourced from NYC municipal announcements. Weather data comes from established meteorological providers. Local news is curated from trusted NYC outlets.

Subway & Transit

TodayIn pulls live MTA service status for all numbered and lettered subway lines. The transit tile shows current delays, planned service changes, and weekend work across the full system at a glance. The MTA updates service alerts continuously throughout the day — any disruption or diversion is reflected in real time.

TodayIn covers all 24 MTA New York City Transit subway lines: the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, A, C, E, B, D, F, M, G, J, Z, L, N, Q, R, W, and S Shuttle. Status for every line is updated via the MTA's public real-time data feed.

A delay is an unplanned disruption — a sick passenger, signal trouble, or a track condition causing trains to run slower than scheduled. A planned service change is a pre-announced modification, typically for overnight or weekend track maintenance, where trains may be rerouted, skip stations, or run on a different line. TodayIn distinguishes between both.

The initial NYC launch focuses on the subway system. Coverage for MTA buses, the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), Metro-North Railroad, and NJ Transit is planned for future updates after the core dashboard is live.

Alternate Side Parking

TodayIn's NYC dashboard shows today's alternate side parking status in real time, including holiday suspensions and snow emergency declarations. For the most current status before the dashboard launches, check NYC.gov or call 311.

Alternate side parking (ASP) requires that vehicles be moved from one side of the street during scheduled street cleaning hours, typically 1–3 times per week depending on the block. Rules are posted on signs on each block. Violating ASP results in a parking ticket, currently $65 in most cases. The rules are suspended on all legal city holidays, certain religious observances, and during snow emergencies declared by the mayor.

The schedule varies by block and is posted on the street cleaning signs on your specific block. NYC also offers an online sign lookup tool at nyc.gov where you can enter an address to see the street cleaning schedule. TodayIn's parking tile will surface general suspension status for the day — for block-level schedules, the NYC.gov sign lookup is the authoritative source.

Alternate side parking is suspended on all New York City legal holidays (New Year's Day, MLK Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Election Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas) as well as a number of recognized religious observances including Ash Wednesday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Succoth, Shemini Atzereth, Simchas Torah, and several others. The mayor may also declare suspension during heavy snowfall.

Weather & Coverage

The weather tile refreshes automatically throughout the day. Current conditions, hourly forecast, feels-like temperature, precipitation probability, and weather alerts are all included. Data is sourced from reliable meteorological APIs with coverage across the New York City metro area.

TodayIn NYC covers all five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Subway status covers the full MTA system across all boroughs. Weather and parking data cover the full city, with borough-level weather detail planned for a future update.

TodayIn curates headlines from a selection of trusted New York City news organizations. The goal is to surface stories that are genuinely relevant to daily life in the city — not national wire stories repurposed as local content. The specific source list will be published when the dashboard launches.

The NYC sports tile covers the New York Knicks (NBA), New York Yankees (MLB), New York Mets (MLB), New York Giants (NFL), New York Jets (NFL), New York Rangers (NHL), New York Islanders (NHL), New York Red Bulls (MLS), and NYCFC (MLS). Scores, schedules, and game-day status are shown for teams with games today or yesterday.
