The Chairman acknowledged the hard work of the women and men of the agency as they handled recent incidents that occurred in New York City that impacted service. Chairman Foye commended the employees for their immense commitment and dedication during the World Pride event in the last weekend of June, and the planning for the World Cup parade on July 10th. Chairman Foye stated that the MTA provided excellent service during both celebrations. Chairman Foye commented on recent difficulties experienced by the agencies, noting the Con Edison blackout in west Midtown Manhattan, the PSEG power failure in Rockaway, an ATS issue affecting numbered trains and recent climate challenges, that resulting in flash flooding. Chairman Foye commended New York City Transit employees for their response to the incidents and for quickly getting service back up and running. Chairman Foye stated that President Byford will address some of the challenges of the previous two weeks later in the meeting. Chairman Foye announced the creation of two task forces intended to address the increase of homelessness in the transit system, and subway train speed and worker safety, both created at the request of Governor Cuomo. The Homeless Task Force will report to Managing Director Veronique Hakim, with a mission of creating a plan within 30 days to measurably reduce homelessness by the end of 2019. Chairman Foye stated that MTA is looking forward to working in close partnership with the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, which regulates homeless services in the State. Chairman Foye announced the expansion of the highly successful Speed Unit, led by New York City Transit. The Chairman stated that the Train Speed and Safety Task Force will also look at Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad to improve train speeds and add system capacity by reviewing civil speed restrictions and ensure that speed signals are properly calibrated. Chairman Foye stated that the MTA is excited to have former Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) Administrator Jane Garvey Chair the Train Speed and Safety Task Force, with Local 100 President Tony Utano serving on the Task Force as well. The Train Speed and Safety Task Force will report to Transit Committee Chair Sarah Feinberg, formerly Federal Railroad Administration (“FRA”) Administrator.
