THE POWER OF AN IDEA 4 Metropolitan Transportation Authority he power of an idea is transformative. The power of people to execute on that idea is T the story of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Small Business Development Program. In 2009, with the appointment of a new Chief Diversity Officer for the MTA, a new roadmap for small business growth and development was envisioned. The design for a comprehensive technical assistance program that would provide both classroom and field training to small contractors, especially certified minority, women and disadvantaged businesses, was launched. The program was built on a simple idea: engage small contractors in the MTA environment through in-class training and support each individual contractor on small projects that would be competitively bid. It was a simple learn and earn model that would be the foundation of an award- winning program that would attract hundreds of candidates and inevitably build a pool of small business contractors who would graduate from the intensive eight-year program. Today, almost 300 contractors are actively enrolled in the program, and 97 have graduated. 5 A STATEWIDE DIVERSITY COMMITMENT ew York is leading the nation in expanding opportunities for N minority - and women-owned business enterprises (MWBEs) and small businesses. MWBEs are critical to creating a strong and diverse workforce, and this administration has consistently worked to break through the barriers that limited their participation in State contracting." Governor Andrew M. Cuomo New York State 6 Metropolitan Transportation Authority nder Governor Cuomo’s leadership, MWBE participation U in State contracting has flourished, and we continue to push the needle forward. With a goal of 30 percent participation, and initiatives such as the MTA Small Business Development Program, New York State leads the nation in creating opportunities for MWBEs and small businesses.” Alphonso David Counsel to the Governor Office of the Governor of New York State 7 YEARS OF SUCCESS BUILDING CERTIFIED MINORITY, WOMEN-OWNED, DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES AND SMALL BUSINESSES 7 THE LEADERS BEHIND THE PROGRAM CHANGE STARTS AT THE TOP our MTA leaders have set the course for the growth of a more inclusive MTA procurement Fprocess: former MTA Executive Director and CEO Elliot G. Sander, who served from 2007 -2009, former MTA Chairman and CEO Jay Walder, who served from 2009 to 2011 and former Chairman and CEO Joseph Lhota, who served in 2012 and recognized the first class of 142 Minority, Women and Disadvantaged Business Owner (MWBE) who had been awarded Joseph Lhota Thomas F. Prendergast MTA Chairman MTA Chairman & CEO $16.6 million in the first year of the MTA's Small January 9, 2012 – December 31, 2012 June 20, 2013 - January 31, 2017 February 1, 2017 – Present Business Development Program (SBDP). These MTA leaders set the course for launching and growing the MTA SBDP. Chairman and CEO Thomas J. Prendergast, who retired in January, 2017, welcomed the addition of the Small Business Federal Program (SBFP) in 2013 that expanded opportunities for disadvantaged business enterprises to work on federally-funded projects and continued his strong support of MWBEs within the MTA. When Chairman Prendergast retired, payments to Minority, Women and Disadvantage Businesses (MWDBEs) had increased from six percent Jay H. Walder Elliot G. Sander to 24% over the seven years since the MTA SBDP Chairman & CEO Executive Director & CEO October 5, 2009 - October 21, 2011 January, 2007- May 7, 2009 began. That growth represented over $1.4 billion in contracts awarded to MWDBE firms. Each leader committed to supporting and building the SBDP and expanding it pragmatically throughout the operating agencies in collaboration with the MTA’s Department of Diversity and Civil Rights. Their leadership in embracing the MTA’s diversity programs has contributed to changing the paradigm for small business at the MTA and in the transportation industry. THE MTA’S CHANGE AGENTS FOR SMALL BUSINESS Today, ten professionals affirm their commitment to small business participation in MTA Procurements. Each of these professionals, whether they lead agencies or steward programs that contribute to contract opportunities, are the MTA’s change agents for small business.

Michael J. Garner, then a Senior Director at the New York City School Construction Authority, and the architect of its well-recognized mentoring program, accepted a position at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority as its first Chief Diversity Officer. That move launched the start of the MTA’s new Small Business Development Program that would be the umbrella to several new programs that are operating today. With a new vision for diversity participation in place, there were several challenges that required solutions. Driving the process was the recognition that the MTA, with its six independent operating agencies, over 60,000 employees and historic procurement programs that maintained laser focus on safety, timely delivery and complex project Michael J.

Washington, D.C. 20594 National Transportation Safety Board. 2020. Long Island Rail Road Roadway Worker Fatality, Queens Village, New York, June 10, 2017. Publication Type NTSB/RAR-20/01. Washington, DC: NTSB Abstract: On June 10, 2017, at 10:12 a.m. eastern daylight time, Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) train 7623 on track 3 approached a five-member crew of roadway workers at the Queens Interlocking in Queens Village, New York. The foreman and three roadway workers were inspecting and making minor repairs to track 1 within the Queens Interlocking. A fifth roadway worker was clear of the tracks keeping pace with the work group. Upon seeing train 7623, the watchman/lookout sounded a handheld horn, yelled at the other workmen, and raised a paddle that told the locomotive engineer to sound the train’s horn. The locomotive engineer sounded the train’s horn. Three of the roadway workers remained in track 1, but the foreman stepped into the path of the train on track 3 and was killed. The train was traveling about 78 mph when the locomotive engineer applied the emergency brakes just before impact. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) identified the following safety issues: roadway worker protection, roadway worker on-track safety briefings, management oversight, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) oversight, and worker fatigue.

Biographical Note: At age 14, self-described “railfan” David Keller, then a resident of Holtsville, purchased a Yashica twin-lens reflex camera, which he taught himself to use. He then set out on a mission to photograph Long Island Rail Road (L.I.R.R.) structures exclusively; however, his subject matter quickly expanded to include things such as trains and train crews. Keller’s father supported the young teen’s ambition, and he drove him all over Long Island to photograph the various L.I.R.R. stations. Keller later became a fixture at the “PD” tower in Patchogue, where he learned all about the history and operation of the railroad. During college, he worked for the L.I.R.R for three summers, first as a ticket clerk and later as a special services attendant. Keller and fellow avid railfan and writer Steven Lynch have published two books of L.I.R.R. photographs: The Long Island Rail Road 1925-1975 (Images of Rail) (2004) and Revisiting the Long Island Rail Road: 1925-75 (2005). In addition, Keller maintains a website titled Dave Keller’s RR Photo Archives (http://sbiii.com/d-keller/d-keller.html).
