Introduction When I was approached by the editors of Physics in Perspecti6e to prepare an article on New York City for The Physical Tourist section, I was happy to do so. I have been a New Yorker all my life, except for short-term stays elsewhere on sabbatical leaves and other visits. My professional life developed in New York, and I married and raised my family in New York and its environs. Accordingly, writing such an article seemed a natural thing to do. About halfway through its preparation, however, the attack on the World Trade Center took place.

  • 7 Track Inspectors' Failure to Inspect
    MTA/OIG Report #2020-29 December 2020 Office of the Inspector General Metropolitan Transportation Authority One Penn Plaza, 11th Floor, Suite 1110 New York, NY 10119 212-878-0000 Carolyn Pokorny MTA Inspector General December 28, 2020 Via Electronic Mail Sarah E. Feinberg Interim President New York City Transit 2 Broadway, 30th Floor New York, NY 10004 Re: 7 Track Inspectors’ Failure to Inspect Tracks, False Claims of Inspections, and Dereliction of Duties MTA/OIG #2020-29 (Updated) Dear Ms. Feinberg: The Office of the MTA Inspector General (OIG) initiated this investigation during the course of an ongoing OIG audit in response to news reports of track debris raining down on the streets below the elevated tracks. The elevated tracks of NYC Transit’s subway system are supposed to be inspected on foot by NYC Transit track inspectors every week. From our meetings with the Tracks-Elevated Maintenance Division, Maintenance of Way (MOW), Department of Subways, the OIG became suspicious that inspectors were not doing their jobs because there seemed to be no explanation, in some cases, why the falling debris was not identified during the weekly inspections. We began our review with a test group—examining 7 NYC Transit Track Inspectors (Inspector) assigned to Track, Subdivision T-1 (North), which encompasses the elevated tracks located in the Bronx, Queens, and all elevated tracks in northern Manhattan. This area was selected because of the public reports and the magnitude of incidents of falling debris in this area. The OIG investigation and audit of elevated track inspections more broadly are on-going, but due to our alarming findings vis-à-vis this initial test group—these Inspectors treated their duties like a no-or low-show job—we are reporting our findings now, with further investigation and reporting to follow.
