  • 2000 PCAC Annual Report
    Permanent Citizens Advisory Committee Long Island Rail Road Commuters’ Council Metro-North Railroad Commuter Council New York City Transit Riders Council PCAC In 2000, the PCAC gained several new faces, honored its own, and said good-bye to old PCAC Executive friends. In June, the PCAC awarded longtime MNRCC member Robert Schumacher a Committee plaque for a lifetime of dedication to public transportation. In December, the PCAC mourned Barbara the passing of esteemed MNRCC member Martin Goldstein, who freely gave of his time to Josepher many public-service causes beyond the PCAC and will be greatly missed. Earlier in the Chair year, former Associate Director Jonathan Sigall left the PCAC for a position with the Long Island Rail Road. Transportation Planner Mike Doyle was promoted to Associate Director, Stephen F. and the PCAC welcomed its new Transportation Planner Joshua Schank. Research Wilder Associate Sarah Massey also moved on to pursue a full-time position at West Harlem First Vice Chair Environmental Action. James F. Blair Acting Second Throughout 2000, the PCAC concentrated on the MTA 2000-2004 capital plan, approved by Vice Chair New York State's Capital Program Review Board in the spring, and on the State Transportation Bond Act, which ultimately was rejected by voters. The PCAC and staff dis- Andrew Albert cussed these issues on several occasions with MTA Budget Director Gary Caplan, Grants Director Gregory Kullberg, and Planning Director William Wheeler, consistently voicing con- Richard cern over the capital plan's heavy reliance on debt and the level of debt service that will be Cataggio present in outlying years.

  • An Open Letter to Metro-North Railroad Customers
    347 Madison Avenue Howard Permut New York, NY 10017-3739 President 212-532-4900 An Open Letter to Metro-North Railroad Customers Metro-North Railroad has performed a review of its actions in response to a number of heat- related incidents that occurred on July 22, 2011 on the New Haven Line. The results of that review are contained within this report. First and most importantly, I apologize to the MNR customers who were traveling on the New Haven Line during that afternoon. The delays and discomfort they experienced were significant and it is certainly not how Metro-North chooses to operate its service. Many of the improvements in procedure and protocol that we recommend address these failures and seek to prevent them from happening again. It is important to note, however, that these actions cannot overcome years of disinvestment in infrastructure and equipment. While the 405 M8 cars currently on order will help significantly to improve the line’s operation, it is not the only solution. Continued investment is essential to replace the century-old catenary system and other elements of the New Haven Line’s over-age infrastructure. MNR will work with the Connecticut Department of Transportation, the owner of the infrastructure, to rebuild this line as expeditiously as possible. On July 22, MNR customers and employees faced a wide range of difficulties. The extreme 100+ degree heat caused a number of infrastructure and equipment problems. At the end of the day, customers traveling on 121 trains were delayed – some for well over an hour. There were 13 major separate incidents that required different responses during the 12-hour period between Noon and Midnight.

  • Second Year Accomplishments Report
    From the President Fall 2020 We launched MTA Metro-North Railroad’s Way Ahead strategic plan in October of 2018 as a roadmap for the railroad’s future. But in March of this year, our expectations for the future were upended with the advent of COVID-19, which dramatically impacted daily life and ridership patterns throughout the region. At the lowest point this spring, Metro-North carried only 3% of our normal weekday ridership. Currently, Metro-North is only carrying approximately 23% of our pre-COVID weekday ridership – and we are facing additional uncertainty with rising infection rates as we head into this winter. It is unclear when and if Metro-North will ever see the ridership that it had before the pandemic, and once customers start to return in greater numbers, whether they will be riding the same trains with the same frequency. Even before the pandemic, our customers’ expectations were evolving. And now, as they return to the system, our customers expect more and better communication. Through Way Ahead, Metro-North is making improvements to how we communicate with our customers in every way possible - social media, on the train, on platforms, and through other avenues, like the newly updated TrainTime™ app. And we are in the process of developing and implementing new tools to help customers decide when to travel, by Our giving them information about which trains are more or less crowded.
