Director’s Letter

by Mike Tutrone, Director, TWU Local 100 Retirees Association

I am happy to announce that at our last executive board meeting a couple of changes were introduced and passed in our quest to improve the lot of TWU Retiree Association members.

Change number one was that Effective June 1, 2019, all the benefits in our Hospital Stay Program will be doubled, the weekly hospital income will rise from $150.00 to $300.00 per week, and all other benefits will rise accordingly.
Change number two is that the Retiree Association will now cover the cost of your Defensive Driving course, see the listing of classes here at the Union Hall. For those of you who are unable to take advantage

of the classes at the union hall, merely send us a copy of the course completion certificate and a copy of your payment receipt and we will reimburse you. This benefit is capped at $25.00 per member, spouse is

included if you have a family membership.

  • Mike Quill Film
  • Prescriptions

Thanks to all, who have contributed to the

MIKE QUILL documentary film that Is

being produced and directed by Macdara Vallely (See the page inside this newsletter).
By now everyone should have received their new prescription cards from CVS Caremark, if you have not received them call the MTA BSC at 646-376-0123 and request a new card. The big take away here is that the only thing that is changing is the name of the provider, the plan remains exactly the same.

Our efforts are ongoing to aid in

the completion of this project, so there is still time to contribute to

this deserving effort if you choose.

Project

We are attempting to create a retiree orientated wall here at the union hall, so at this time we are asking that you send in any items that you would care to contribute to the project, old badges, pins, flyers, pictures, anything of that nature would be greatly appreciated.

CONTRACT

The contract expired on May 15,2019, we have asked President Utano to seek an upgrade in our retiree Vision

benefits, which were last

upgraded over 35 years ago. We have also asked that he seek to secure a transit pass for the MTA Bus retirees and cooperation from management in getting a bill passed to get the pension contribution refund for those who retired before 12/15/2005. As of this edition going to the printer, the contract is still in negotiations.

Have a great summer ! ! !

Here’s a few photos from the TWU historical archives.

If you were around in those days, it’s pretty clear working conditions were not the best. We didn’t have a lot of identifying information for the photos, and would only be guessing as to the years and locations.

The image appears somewhere at Grand Central (at least that’s what is apparently stenciled on the support beam). We’re guessing late 50’s or early 60’s.
Year unknown, location unknown. But the name of the Operator aloft is Joseph McGiveney.

This is a shop gate meeting, probably outside a car barn, in 1947.

Filmmaker Macdara Vallely has begun calling those retirees, and reports back that there is a treasure trove of material that might be used in the film.

Brooklyn, NY 11201

Please,fill out the requested information below so we can update you on the progress of this important documentary.

The name of the film is “Mike Quill: Which Side

Are You On?” That name was chosen because

it is the title of a famous, fighting union song that

Mike loved, and that was performed by folk singer Pete Seeger at his memorial.

To date, Vallely has produced a beautiful, emotionally charged trailer that provides a window into the kind of breakthrough documentary the Quill story can be.

Paaswell University Transportation Research Center Region II at City College of New York October 2000 Revised December 2000 Acknowledgments This project could not have been done without the help of a great many people. First of all were the people at New York City Department of Transportation, particularly LuAnn Dunbar, Richard Cohen, and Bill Hough. At Green Bus, we want to thank Doris Drantch, Dave Popiel, Larry Hughes, and Felice Farber. Martin Krieger, Senior Director of Operations Planning, was very generous in sharing with us the ridership numbers for NYCT Queens bus routes. Thurston Clark, Queens Surface, provided information on the electronic fareboxes. Additionally the research team at the University Transportation Research Center consisted of the four authors plus the following associates and students: Andrew Sakawizc Angel Medina Camille Kamga Ellen Thorson Sunanda Patharanage Chang Guan 1: Introduction Ridership on buses throughout New York City has been increasing in the last several years due to the combination of the economic boom and the use of Metrocard which allows passengers to make free transfers between subways and buses. The response to the free transfer was perhaps greater in Queens, where many neighborhoods were far from subways and previously using a bus to access the subway required paying two fares. This “two fare zone,” among other characteristics of Queens, led to the prevalence of the dollar vans, which diverted a significant share of the bus passengers.

    A DIRECTORY OF REGULARLY SCHEDULED, FIXED ROUTE, LOCAL PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICE IN URBANIZED AREAS OVER 50,000 POPULATION AUGUST 1981 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Urban Mass Transportation Administration Office of Planning, Management and Demonstrations Washington, D.C. 20590 . FOR RELEASE MONDAY UMTA Technical Notice 2-81 August 10, 1981 The U. S. DeDartment of Transportation's Urban Mass Transportation Administration released today an updated directory of 686 local fixed route transit operations in 279 urbanized areas (UZAs) of over 50,000 population. As shown in the summaries on page 19, the vehicle requirements for weekday schedules in these UZAs are 3,566 commuter rail cars, 7,450 rapid transit cars, 551 light rail cars, 42,925 motor coaches, 503 trolley coaches and 28 cable cars. These figures are peak requirements, not fleet size. For purposes of this compilation, a transit operation is a fixed route, regularly scheduled service, available to the general public, offering rides wholly within, or commuter rides from outside a particular UZA. Maps showing UZA borders appear in U.S. Census Bureau publication PC (1)-A, by states. UZA listings are in the order of population rank. To find a particular UZA, refer to page 1, where UZAs are listed alphabetically, or to page 21, where they are listed by states. Users of this directory desiring to identify systems of a certain size, or operating different modes, will find useful information in column 5. This directory replaces Technical Notice 2-80 dated August 1, 1 980. Another listing in this series is TN 1-81 dated March 9, 1981, reporting services available in communities of less than 50 ,000 population.

Prepared for U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration Federal Highway Administration Office of the Secretary U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Appendix A The Costs of Travel Surveys The Costs of Travel Surveys Travel surveyors are almost always constrained by limited available resources. More often than not, the survey design and sampling tasks are bounded by funding limits, so the survey team needs to be able to esti- mate the cost of various types of surveys early in their effort. Estimating Costs Based on Previous Survey Efforts The most common source of rough cost estimates is the reported costs of previous efforts. The costs of travel survey efforts are often reported in technical papers and reports. In addition, rules-of-thumb about survey costs are commonly cited. For instance, many surveyors use a figure of $100 per completed survey for telephone-mail-telephone household travel surveys. Unfortunately, there are several problems with relying on past survey experience in estimating costs: ● The analyses rarely account for inflation; ● The analyses do not account for deteriorating cooperation rates over time; ● The analyses do not account for geographic differences; ● It is often difficult to determine which survey cost elements are included in the past cost estimates; and ● It is highly unlikely that the past efforts will include the same survey design=le-ments and sampling considerations as the survey team’s pro- posed effort. To analyze the cost of a past survey effort, the survey team needs to account for inflation.
