  • IRUM Comments on Hudson Tunnel Scoping Document
    INSTITUTE FOR RATIONAL URBAN MOBILITY, INC. George Haikalis One Washington Square Village, Suite 5D President New York, NY 10012 212-475-3394 [email protected] www.irum.org November 30, 2016 Mr. RJ Palladino, Senior Program Manager Ms. Amishi Castelli NJ Transit Capital Planning Federal Railroad Administration One Penn Plaza East—8th Floor One Bowling Green, Suite 429 Newark, NJ 07105 New York, NY 10004 [email protected] [email protected] Re: Hudson Tunnel Scoping Document Dear Mr. Palladino and Ms. Castelli: The Institute for Rational Urban Mobility, Inc. (IRUM), is a NYC-based non-profit concerned with reducing motor vehicle congestion and improving the livability of dense urban places. A key IRUM effort is to make the case for transforming the three commuter rail lines serving the NY-NJ-CT metropolitan area into a coordinated regional rail system with frequent service, integrated fares, and thru-running, first at Penn Station and then by linking Penn Station with Grand Central Terminal. The Hudson Tunnel project is a key element of such an effort, and IRUM has followed the development of this project with considerable interest. IRUM submitted scoping comments on the Hudson Tunnel project in a May 17, 2016 letter to the project team, along with a lengthy attachment – The Hoboken Alternative (copies attached). 1. NJ Transit and USDOT responses to IRUM’s comments shown in the Hudson Tunnel Scoping Summary Report are deeply flawed. On Page 31 of the Scoping Summary Report, the Hoboken Alternative is wrongly dismissed as follows: “An alternative that passes near the Hoboken Terminal, would be substantially longer (with proportionally greater cost) than alternatives that go more directly between the NEC alignment near Secaucus and PSNY.” This is simply wrong.

End-of-Track Collisions at Terminal Stations, Hoboken, New Jersey, September 29, 2016, and Atlantic Terminal, Brooklyn, New York, January 4, 2017. NTSB/SIR-18/01. Washington, DC. Abstract: The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) launched investigative teams to two very similar accidents within 13 weeks of one another. In both accidents, the engineers failed to stop their trains before reaching the end of a terminating track at a station. The September 29, 2016, accident on the New Jersey Transit commuter railroad at Hoboken, New Jersey, killed one person, injured 100, and resulted in major damage to the passenger station. The January 4, 2017, accident on the Long Island Rail Road (a subsidiary of Metropolitan Transportation Authority) at the Atlantic Terminal in Brooklyn, New York, injured 108 people. As the NTSB investigations progressed, it became apparent that these accidents had almost identical probable causes and safety issues. The NTSB also realized that these safety issues were not unique to these two properties, but exist throughout the United States at many intercity passenger and commuter passenger train terminals.
