    For Immediate Release: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 Contact: Corey Bearak (ATU 1056 Policy & Political Director) (718) 343-6779/ (516) 343-6207 ATU Local 1056 Reminds Community on Restored Queens Bus Service Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1056 Queens reminds the public that bus service restorations announced by the MTA last summer get fully implemented next week. ATU 1056 President and Business Agent I. Daneek Miller said the union local wants to make sure Queens residents know they can take advantage of restored service Sunday on the Q24, Q27 and Q36 (extension of route to restore the former Q79) bus routes and Monday on the Q30 and Q42. Miller noted restored service started on the Q76 this past October. ATU 1056 members – bus operators and mechanics – work for MTA New York City Transit's Queens bus division and serve the riding public. “ATU Local 1056 wants the public to know about the return of service once the subject of the misguided and hurtful cuts that affected many communities outside Manhattan,” stated ATU President Miller who noted ATU Local 1056 had organized news conferences, rallies and other events with electeds and community leaders, and testified at hearings to get the MTA to reverse harmful cuts. “We made clear that the dollars existed to restore service in Queens and the facts today make that clear. ATU 1056 will work together with the community, our electeds and our sister transit unions to make sure the MTA delivers what the riding public in Queens needs.” President Miller, who also chairs the MTA Labor Coalition, also thanked the community and their electeds for their advocacy and support throughout this difficult period preceding the service restoration.

    For Immediate Release: Thursday, June 10, 2010 Contact: Corey Bearak (ATU 1056 Policy & Political Director) (718) 343-6779/ (516) 343-6207 ATU Local 1056, Electeds & Community v. Bus Cuts Amalgamated Transportation Union (ATU) Local No. 1056, its president I. Daneek Miller, elected officials including Queens Borough President Helen Marshall and representatives of Council Members James Sanders and Mark Weprin, ATU Local 1179 Vice President John Lyons, the Queens Civic Congress, Community Board 2Q Chair Joseph Conley, Community Board 6 District Manager Frank Gulluscio, Community Board 11 member Steve Behar, Queens civic leaders and concerned residents rallied today to urge the MTA to reverse harmful cuts and eliminations to Queens bus service outside Queens Borough Hall. “At a time when the agency continues to invest funds for Manhattan megaprojects that will make millions for monied interests, our coalition of community, labor and electeds urges the MTA to restore service on these Queens lines: Q14, Q15, Q24, Q26, Q30, Q31, Q42, Q48, Q74, Q75, Q76, Q79, Q89, QM22, QM23, and X51,” stated I. Daneek Miller, president of ATU Local 1056 whichrepresents drivers and mechanics who work for MTA New York City Transit's Queens bus division. “The MTA and its chairman/CEO Jay Walder refuse to exercise other options that would avert these cuts,” explained Mr. Miller. “Instead, they chose to balance their books on the backs of working people who depend on these bus lines each day. The issue is not money; it's policy. The public needs to know MTA chair Walder, once of Queens but late of London, testified to the NYS Assembly that he would NOT (emphasis added) apply new funding or saved resources to restore service cuts and eliminations.

  • New York State Public Transportation Safety Board Rail Safety Section Abbreviated Report Case Number: 9260
    NEW YORK STATE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD RAIL SAFETY SECTION ABBREVIATED REPORT CASE NUMBER: 9260 DATE OF ACCIDENT: February 2, 2007 CARRIER: MTA Long Island Rail Road TYPE OF INCIDENT: Evacuation SYNOPSIS: On Friday, February 2, 2007, at approximately 6:37 p.m., the LIRR movement bureau placed a block on the four main line tracks in the Valley interlocking after the Valley Tower Operator reported that an electrical power wire was hanging low across the tracks. Valley Tower is located in the town of Valley Stream and the power wire from a Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) sub-station on the north side of the right-of-way extends overhead across to the south side of tracks. The wire had sagged to approximately five feet above the Long Beach #2 track; 10 feet above the Montauk #2 track; and four feet above the top of the head car on train #4153 on Montauk #1 track were it had stopped adjacent to the Valley Tower. The wire did not come into contact with the train. The movement bureau established a block on the #1 and #2 tracks of both the Montauk and the Atlantic lines, effectively shutting down traffic through the interlocking. This affected train movement on the Montauk, Far Rockaway, West Hempstead and Long Beach Branches. A total of 14 trains (eight eastbound and six westbound) were delayed between the Hall Interlocking (west of Jamaica Station) and the Merrick Station on the Montauk Branch when third rail power was shut off. Of the above trains, 8 of them stopped within the limits of the Valley Interlocking.

My name is Jim Trent and I serve as Treasurer and Transportation Committee chair for the Queens Civic Congress, an umbrella organization of more than 110 neighborhood based civic organizations representing property owners, including those owning coops and condos, and tenants who reside in every part of Queens County. The Queens Civic Congress opposes the Congestion Tax. Our Queens Civic Congress Platform, CIVIC 2030, quite succinctly advocates: Maintain free use of all non-TBTA East River and Harlem River bridges for all city residents, and oppose any plan or scheme to impose a tax, fee or toll on vehicles to enter Manhattan such as the "fee" proposed by the Mayor as part of “PlaNYC". As our past-president Sean Walsh wrote in our September newsletter, “The federal grant and the state legislation require any alternative to the congestion tax reduce congestion in Manhattan south of 86th Street by a mere 6.3 percent.
