The Dashboards display key indicators for MTA New York City Transit subways, buses, and paratransit services; MTA Long Island Rail Road; MTA Metro-North Railroad; MTA Bus; MTA Long Island Bus and its paratransit service; and MTA Bridges and Tunnels. Performance in all categories is measured monthly and compared to published goals. All data is through December 2010. See 2428 Report for additional details.

Improved transparency and customer access to real-time service information through email alerts, social media, and expanded features at the MTA public website at www.mta.info. Opened up collaborations with outside app developers working on MTA-related customer service applications, providing direct access to data at the Developer Resources page on the MTA website. Consolidated outside phone lines across all agencies, reducing MTA’s customer service numbers from 118 phone numbers to just 23 numbers, routed through more efficient Interactive Voice Recognition (IVR) calling trees. Conducted an agency-wide MTA customer survey pinpointing areas of highest and lowest customer satisfaction by operations, agencies, new technologies, personal safety, and other indicators. Began migrating agency email systems onto a single cross-agency platform and consolidating servers, data, and IT functions from 34 separate facilities to three main MTA data centers. NYC Transit (Subways)—Customer Service/Technology Initiatives . Continued the rollout of new Public Address/Customer Information Screens (PA/CIS), which will ultimately be deployed at 156 subway stations, providing customers with on-location, real-time information, including electronic text signs, ―countdown clocks,‖ and audio public address. Installed ―countdown clocks,‖ which have been activated at over 100 subway stations to date, providing

  • 2009 MTA Annual Performance Review
    PERMANENT CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO THE MTA REPRESENTING MTA RIDERS SINCE 1981 2009 Annual Performance Review of The MTA and Its Operating Agencies Introduction The PCAC’s 2009 Performance Review marks our third report summarizing the accomplishments and continuing challenges of the MTA and its operating agencies. This report addresses a number of broad themes such as leadership, transparency, organizational structure, service performance, communication, and accessibility. These themes relate to the ability of the MTA and its operating agencies to deliver service effectively to the riders that we represent. While PCAC is vitally concerned about the critical issue of the almost $800 million operating funding shortfall from Albany, which is part of ongoing dialogues that the PCAC and its Councils maintain with public officials and the MTA operating agencies, this larger issue is outside the scope of this report. The PCAC is encouraged by the MTA leadership’s initial steps to make the overall organization more effective and efficient, and we intend our report to complement this effort. At the same time we are well aware that internal efficiencies are not enough to prevent serious damage to the system due to state funding shortfalls.1 The PCAC recognizes that some of the issues raised in the report are the subject of ongoing work by the MTA and its agencies, the body of this document addresses issues pertaining to the 2009 calendar year. Several related developments from 2010 are included as footnotes to the Review. The PCAC and its Councils are not legislatively mandated to address the operations of MTA Bridges and Tunnels or MTA Long Island Bus; consequently they are not addressed in this document.

  • 2010 MTA Annual Performance Review
    PERMANENT CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO THE MTA REPRESENTING MTA RIDERS SINCE 1981 2010 Annual Performance Review of The MTA and Its Operating Agencies Introduction The 2010 Annual Performance Review marks the fourth report by PCAC which evaluates the yearly initiatives and accomplishments of the MTA and its operating agencies. As in the past, we address the broad themes that affect the ability of the MTA to deliver quality service to the riders that we represent: leadership, transparency, accountability, service performance, communication, community outreach, security, capital program management, etc. An important guide in this review process is previous years’ assessments in order to gauge the progress made in policies and practices. Last year the MTA was fortunate to have sustained and capable leadership at Headquarters and the Agencies. However, the organization faced extreme financial pressures that required not only a fare hike but painful service cuts. Chairman and CEO Jay Walder has committed the MTA to “Making Every Dollar Count” and finding efficiencies within the system that will enable the MTA to overcome deficits without additional outside funding. The PCAC will be looking for performance measures and more accountability to accompany this slogan. Despite the gloomy financial environment, the MTA and the Agencies did make strides in a number of areas: an improved website; technology applications to operations and communication; streamlining the MTA Board Committee structure; progress in the long stalled installation of CCTV cameras in subways and countdown clocks; much greater transparency as a result of the capital program and performance dashboards on the website; and continued support of transit-oriented development projects.
