  • LIRR Expansion Project Community Outreach Plan
    LIRR Expansion Project Community Outreach Plan Summer 2018 Introduction Project Background The Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (MTA) operating agencies, MTA Capital Construction Company (MTACC) and Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), are embarking upon the LIRR Expansion Project from Floral Park to Hicksville to improve mass transit, reduce traffic congestion, protect the environment, improve safety, and enhance community quality-of-life. The project calls for a completely new approach to the construction of a third track along a 9.8-mile stretch of the railroad’s heavily traversed Main Line between the Floral Park and Hicksville train stations, the elimination of seven at- grade crossings, new parking facilities, upgrades to railroad infrastructure, enhancements to passenger rail stations, and other local improvements. It will enable more robust and reliable rail service, make living and working on Long Island easier, and ensure Long Island’s economic health now and for the next century. Since Governor Cuomo announced the project in January 2016, the project team has engaged in an unprecedented level of public outreach with a broad range of individuals and organizations, including community groups, elected and appointed officials, businesses, and residents. In the summer of 2016, six public Scoping meetings were held at four different locations to obtain input on the project. Following the release of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) in November 2016, six DEIS and Eminent Domain Procedures Law (EDPL) public hearings were held. Many of the Project’s elements and aspects of the environmental study, detailed in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) released in April 2017, are the direct result of input given by the public.

  • Reported It to the Department
    State of New York Office of the Inspector General Metropolitan Transportation Authority Two Penn Plaza, 5th Floor New York, New York 10121 212-878-0000 Barry L. Kluger Inspector General March 22, 2018 Owen Monaghan Chief MTA Police Department 420 Lexington Avenue New York, NY 10170 Re: Investigation as to whether Assistant Chief Thomas Odessa Complied with Applicable MTA All-Agency/Police Department Policies, Rules, and Procedures Dear Chief Monaghan: As you know, in November 2017 the Office of the MTA Inspector General (OIG) received a request from the MTA Police Department (the Department) to assist it in investigating whether Assistant Chief Thomas Odessa (Odessa) was in compliance with various MTA All- Agency/Department policies, rules, and procedures. As a result, the OIG provided the requested assistance as described below. Background As reflected in past reports, the OIG has established to agency management the many benefits of GPS-based automatic vehicle location monitoring technology. These benefits include: determining the optimal size and utilization of an agency’s automotive fleet; providing data for accident/incident investigation; reducing operating expense by monitoring idling and maintenance cycles; allowing for audits of potentially risky driving behavior such as speeding and hard braking; and improving management and accountability of a widespread workforce. Given these benefits, in 2016 the MTA Inspector General recommended to the then-Director of Safety and Security at MTA Headquarters, who had supervisory and oversight authority over the Department, that the Department install GPS systems in agency vehicles. The Director agreed. Thereafter, the Department infonned the OIG that the Department had determined to have those of its Radio Motor Patrol vehicles (RMPs) assigned to primary operators on a 24/7 basis retrofitted with GPS tracking devices, beginning in January 2017.

  • LIRR Labor Leaders: MTA Must Pause Work by Outside Contractors After Mishaps
    Newsday: LIRR labor leaders: MTA must pause work by outside contractors after mishaps Police and LIRR officials Saturday in Mineola where a contracted ironworker was hospitalized after being electrocuted. Credit: James Carbone By Alfonso A. Castillo Updated March 15, 2021 9:56 PM LIRR labor leaders are calling on the MTA to pause all construction by outside workers following what they say is a string of safety-related mishaps in recent weeks, including the electrocution of a contractor on the Third Track project Saturday. MTA officials, who are investigating the electrocution and reviewing protocols, responded that safety remains their "top priority" and said all work on the Third Track project has been paused pending the investigation, but declined to stop work by outside contractors on other projects. In a letter sent to Janno Lieber, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s infrastructure chief, Anthony Simon and Christopher Natale — the heads of two of the railroad’s largest unions — called for "safety stand downs" for all third-party contractors working on the railroad, "to ensure the safety of all the workers in our system, as well as LIRR customers." The letter follows several incidents in recent weeks that the labor leaders suggested were caused by the MTA prioritizing speed over safety in carrying out big-ticket infrastructure projects, like the ongoing $2.6 billion effort to construct a third track between Floral Park and Hicksville. On Saturday, a contracted ironworker was electrocuted at the Long Island Rail Road’s Mineola station when a crane being used to erect a pedestrian bridge made contact with a high-voltage line.
