Taking mass transit is the best way to avoid heavy traffic during the United Nations 81st session of the general assembly, according to the MTA.

The agency urges travelers to leave their cars behind as the general debates are held from Sept. 22 to Sept. 28.

Officials say subways will be the fastest way to get around, with many lines running every two to five minutes during rush hour.

Enhanced security and street closures could contribute to bus delays and reroutes, especially around midtown and the east side.

Officials encourage travelers to visit the MTA website or app to monitor the latest updates.
