Hunts Point Av 6 Station Becomes the 84th Fully ADA Accessible Subway Station
 
November 18th, 2014

"Hunts Point Av ADA accessible elevator
Taking the  at Hunts Point Av station is now fully accessible for disabled riders. Customers can now use three new ADA-accessible elevators to reach the platforms from the street level to both northbound and southbound platforms. The elevators went into service today and make the Hunts Point Av  station the 11th ADA Key Station in the Bronx and the 84th ADA Key Station system-wide.
The $17.8 million project, funded by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), was awarded to contractor Oliveira Contracting, Inc., a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) firm with work beginning in February 2012. One elevator located within Monsignor Raul Del Valle Square Park connects the street and the station’s mezzanine. The other two elevators connect the mezzanine with both the Manhattan and Pelham Bay Park-bound platforms. Additional work included the reconstruction of platform edges, the installation of new ADA boarding areas with tactile warning strips and signage, and reconfiguring the control area to meet all ADA requirements. This involved the installation of an ADA accessible gate and new ADA hand railings along platform stairs. Help Point intercoms will also be installed in the near future.
The street elevator is located within the confines of Monsignor Raul Del Valle Square Park, which is NYC Parks Department property. However as part of the project, NYC Transit also restored the park’s plaza and grounds including brick pavers, and plaza steps to go with the addition of an ADA access ramp.
“In the last several years, we have worked hard to make our transit system increasingly accessible to members of our community who have disabilities,” said New York Transit President Carmen Bianco. “These elevators will provide a host of new travel options for customers with limited mobility and will improve customers’ experience around this vital transit corridor in the Bronx.”
“We are thrilled to see the MTA continue its capital upgrades in our borough. The Hunts Point Avenue station is a critical component to the Bronx’s mass transit system, and these repairs and improvements will make this station accessible to all who need it,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.
“I am very pleased that the elevators at the Hunts Point station are finally available for everyone to use,” said State Senator Ruben Diaz. “Thank you MTA for all your hard work."
“Today is a great day for Hunts Point residents and the thousands of Bronxites who commute daily through this very important transportation hub. The Hunts Point station continues to be one of the busiest stations in our transit system, and today's announcement marks an important milestone in improving the lives of community residents and riders,” said Assembly Member Marcos A. Crespo. “In particular, our elderly, the disabled, parents with carriages and others will no longer have to struggle to enter or exit the transit system with the installation of these long anticipated ADA compatible elevators. I am proud to join President Carmen Bianco of New York City Transit, elected colleagues and community leaders who have long advocated for these improvements.”
First opened in 1919, the Hunts Point Av  station has an average weekday ridership of 10, 144, the ninth busiest out of the 68 stations in the Bronx."

MTA Buses and Subways Gear Up for Winter Weather

MTA Buses and Subways Gear Up for Winter Weather

As the season for cold and snowy weather approaches, MTA New York City Transit and MTA Bus Company are ready for winter operations. NYCT is leaning on lessons from the 2013-2014 winter that brought 14 significant storms and more than 50 inches of snow.

This year’s weather plan has been updated to include new snow-fighting equipment for the Department of Buses; new improved cold-weather and communications equipment; increased planning and collaboration with the Department of Sanitation; and more alerts and checks on service for quicker and more proactive operations planning.

“We never know what each winter will bring, so New York City Transit has to be prepared for anything,” said NYCT President Carmen Bianco. “This year we have invested in more equipment such as new all-season tires to make our bus fleet more safe and better prepared to handle snow and icy roads, and improved technology that tracks our buses and lets us tailor service route by route rather than make blanket service changes.”

Snow and ice-busting equipment is ready to keep hundreds of miles of outdoor subway track and third rail clear of snow and ice. The Department of Buses, meanwhile, is testing the effectiveness of all-season tires on the bus fleet.

“We have expanded the testing and evaluation of all-season tires on our buses,” said Darryl Irick, Senior Vice President of Buses for New York City Transit and President of the MTA Bus Company.  “We are looking for the ability to maintain traction in slick and snowy conditions without installing and removing chains, which took a lot of time with the huge number of significant storms last season. We also closely monitor our bus service and adjust it according to the conditions around the city.  Our goal is to keep our services running as long as it is safe for our customers and employees.”

The Department of Buses also is working closely with the Department of Sanitation on the maintenance and operation of snow removal equipment. Predetermined routes have been mapped for 28 pieces of snow-fighting equipment to quickly reach highly trafficked locations for buses such as terminals, lay-over spots and facilities.

Bus managers now have new technology that tracks service when it falls below minimum expected levels on any route, allowing them to make decisions more quickly. Department of Buses also prepares special “winter weather schedules” that can substitute for service curtailments on a route-by-route basis. 

Winter preparation for NYCT subways has been influenced in the aftermath of a Christmas 2010 blizzard, which stranded trains on outdoor trains. It prompted the agency to rethink its approach to operating service during crippling storms and resulted in a shift away from the philosophy that NYCT would deliver service until it is no longer possible. 

NYCT has nearly 220 miles of outdoor track that are vulnerable to snowy and icy conditions, such as snow drifts that can cause stalling when they reach certain heights.  Routes at ground level and in open cuts are particularly vulnerable to heavy drifting snow and freezing wet weather that can leave a coating of ice on the third rail.

“There is a point beyond which it is no longer prudent to send trains onto the outdoor sections of the lines,” explained Joe Leader, Senior Vice President, Department of Subways.  “During a storm of rapid snow and ice accumulations, we cannot ensure that we can clear the right-of-way quickly enough to prevent stalled trains and trapped customers.  But by modifying our operations we can clear the roadbed effectively, allowing us to restore service much more quickly.”

In addition to deploying thousands of workers across the system when a major storm is forecast, Subways uses specialized equipment to move snowfall – some of it developed in-house – and technology such as snowplows, jet-powered snow blowers to clear the yards, snow throwers on mainline tracks, and modified deicers, which are retired subway cars that spray de-icing fluid on the third rail.

Forecasts of accumulating snow or sub-freezing temperatures require NYCT to store subway trains indoors. Idle trains that are stored in yards or along unused outdoor tracks are instead stored along underground express tracks. Use of these tracks for storage purposes requires early suspension of express service in some locations. 

“New York’s mass transit system is vital to keeping the city going – and we’re doing everything necessary to make sure that the system runs as smoothly as possible through the cold winter months,” Governor Cuomo said. “By activating this winter operation plan, the MTA is doubling down on its preparations for inclement weather and taking important steps to help buses and trains avoid delays and keep commuters safe.”

During any types of emergency, including weather, the MTA posts information on service disruptions or changes and urges customers to monitor mta.info

Commuter Railroads and Weather: Is Mother Nature winning?

Agree or disagree....Is winter weather getting worse in the Tri State area?

Used to be if you had a major snowstorm or any significant weather phenomenon, the trains kept running. For example, in February 1994, seemingly all commuter operations came to a halt during a major winter snowstorm except Metro North, which ran 496 of 550 trains on that one day (1996 Trains Magazine's Metro-North: Gotham Giant) Now it just seems that railroads, to include Metro North stop whenever anything hits, and most equipment fails out in the rails (LIRR is a given). But to me seems like the equipment railroads use today is getting more unsuitable for winter travel. Am I wrong?

Why are so many depots short on artics?

I've been noticing that on quite a few routes that are usually 100% artic, I've been seeing quite a few 40 footers.  M79 is one of them that really needs artics all of the time.  Last night while I was on the BxM4 up and down the Concourse I saw 40 footers, which is not the first time I've seen this either, but it seems to be becoming more common.  I thought the (MTA) bought more artics, so what's the story?  Is maintenance becoming worse or what?

MTA's R-251 vacuum train order goes to NEU International Railways of France

 
 
 
MTA has been approve on purchasing 3 vaktrak trains...
 
To obtain Board approval to award a competitively solicited contract to NEU International Railways (NEU) to purchase three vacuum
trains at a total price of $22,966,046. This action also requests Board approval to increase the scope of the Purchase Vacuum Trains
project in the 2010-2014 Capital Program from two to three vacuum trains.
 
DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to subdivision 9(f) of Section 1209 of the Public Authorities Law, an Authorizing Resolution to issue a Request for Proposals
(RFP) was approved by the Board in September 2013 for the purchase of two vacuum trains, with the funding for the equipment
provided in the MTA Capital Program. Prior to issuance of the RFP, in order to cultivate competition, members from the Department
of Subways (DOS) - the Divisions of Car Equipment (DCE) and Maintenance of Way - as well as Procurement visited vacuum train
manufacturers and transit properties in Europe who own vacuum trains. Further, a Request for Information (RFP) was generated in
December 2012 in an attempt to identify more competition. This RFP was advertised internationally and the outreach included
contacting 26 firms with responses received from 12 firms.
 
The RFP was publicly advertised, both locally and internationally, in January 2014 and a notice was sent to all firms who responded to
the RFP. A total of 12 firms picked up the RFP package. On May 16, 2014, proposals were received from three firms: Oregon Iron
Works Inc. (OIW), NEU and Schorling kommunal GmbH (Schorling), in the amounts $35,156,467, $19,626,375 and $16,941,260
respectively.
 
A vacuum train is a piece of track bed cleaning equipment consisting of an operator cab, self-powered vacuuming and filtering
apparatus and storage space for the debris collected. Vacuum trains are used in DOS' Division of Track operations to remove debris
from the track bed which can cause fires resulting in delays in service. The new vacuum trains will replace the two existing selfpropelled
vacuum trains which began service in 1997 and 2000 and have now reached the end of their useful lives. In order to
eliminate dependency on its own propulsion system and maximize availability, in the event of a propulsion failure, the new vacuum
trains will not be self-propelled. Each train will be moved through the system by NYC Transit locomotives. The new vacuum trains
will employ improved debris agitation and suction systems to improve vacuuming efficiency in a single pass and enable NYC Transit
to increase the amount of track bed to be cleaned and maximize the speed and effectiveness of the cleaning operation.
 
After evaluating initial proposals for the purchase of two vacuum trains, the Selection Committee determined that the three proposers
appeared to be qualified to perform the work. This evaluation was conducted in accordance with the stated evaluation criteria, which
included compliance with the specifications; experience of the project team in similar projects; management approach and staffing plan;
product maintainability (including optimizing the use of Commercial Off The Shelf components) and operation of equipment; plan
to meet or reduce the maximum delivery schedule; the quality assurance program; experience in providing quality training,
manuals, drawings, and aftermarket support; overall project cost and value to the Authority; and other relevant matters including
compliance with and acceptance of NYC Transit’s terms and conditions; clarity and completeness of the written proposal, quality of
oral presentation.
 
The Selection Committee voted unanimously to invite all three proposers to give oral presentations. The technical ranking of the
proposers was NEU first, OIW second and Schorling third. After oral presentations, the Selection Committee unanimously decided
to negotiate with NEU and Schorling, both of whom have demonstrated significant experience in building vacuum trains. OIW was
eliminated from further consideration because its price was significantly outside of the competitive range and the oral presentation
further illuminated that the nature of its proposal was primarily research and development based, with no prior experience of having
actually built a vacuum train.
 
Negotiations were held with both NEU and Schorling between July and September 2014 with a focus on pricing, the technical
aspects of the proposals, delivery schedules as well as the commercial aspects of each proposal, including payment terms and
bonding.
 
During the course of the negotiation period, the issue of acquiring a third vacuum train was raised by DOS. This third vacuum train
will allow NYC Transit to further increase its cleaning frequency, allow for more efficient vacuum train operations and support
operation of the trains in as many as three of the sub-divisions simultaneously. The third train will also permit more efficient
preventative maintenance of the vacuum trains while still providing adequate system coverage. Collectively, with the purchase of
these three vacuum trains, NYC Transit will effectively reduce the debris buildup which can cause track fires, thus mitigating service
delays. Procurement leveraged this quantity change in its negotiations with both proposers to reduce pricing by taking into account
economies of scale. As a result, a request for pricing for three vacuum trains was included in the request for Best and Final Offers
(BAFOs).
 
On October 2, 2014, NYC Transit requested BAFOs which included price proposals for the purchase of both two and three trains.
BAFOs were received on October 10, 2014 as follows:
 
NEU 
3 trains: $22,966,046* 
2 trains: $17,280,969*
 
Schorling 
3 trains: $25,005,310 
2 trains: $17,182,730
 
* This represents NEU’s BAFO prices which included an advantageous alternate accelerated delivery schedule (deemed acceptable
by NYC Transit prior to BAFO) with an associated monetary credit.
 
 
After review of the BAFOs in accordance with the evaluation criteria, the Selection Committee unanimously selected NEU for award
of this contract as NEU was evaluated as being technically superior, based on its demonstrated higher level of proficiency in
vacuuming technology and its ability to integrate NYC Transit’s requirements into its design solution, as well as offering the lowest
overall price for the purchase of three trains. NEU’s accelerated delivery schedule was considerably better than that offered by
Schorling and is an improvement over the RFP schedule. NEU will manufacture the vacuuming equipment at its plant in Lille,
France and ship it to its strategic subcontractor Socofer. Socofer, the carbuilder, located in Tours, France, will integrate NEU’s
equipment into the train. The first train will arrive 24 months after Notice of Award (NOA) as per the schedule in the RFP, with the
second and third train being delivered 31 and 35 months after NOA respectively, which is an improvement of four months and six
months respectively over the RFP schedule. The Selection Committee determined that based on its technical superiority, the
accelerated delivery schedule and lower price, NEU’s proposal offers the best overall value to NYC Transit. NEU was the
manufacturer of NYC Transit’s existing vacuum trains and is recognized as a world leader in the supply of vacuum trains with
equipment in operation in Paris, Brussels, Rome, Munich, Seoul and Santiago (Chile). The Selection Committee also unanimously
determined that if the award was being made on the basis of two trains NEU would also have been the selected awardee.
 
It should be noted that despite having been given multiple opportunities by NYC Transit through the process, Schorling was unable
to demonstrate the viability of its proposed vacuuming/suction hood design solution and how it would meet the exhaust temperature
and noise requirements.
 
NEU’s price of $22,966,046 is broken out as follows: three vacuum trains at $21,023,940 ($7,007,980 each x 3) plus $1,942,106
comprised of non-car items (which includes spare parts, special tools, manuals, training, car history books, drawings and bonding
costs). Procurement, NYC Transit’s Cost/Price Analysis Unit and DCE’s Work Car Engineering group reviewed the prices and
concluded that NEU’s price of $22,966,046, which is $13,518,231 (37%) lower than the three train in-house estimate of $36,484,277,
is fair and reasonable. The price per train for two trains from the initial price proposal was $8,322,103. The price per train for the
BAFO representing three trains is $7,007,980 resulting in a reduction in the price of $1,314,123 (16%) per train.
The trains proposed by NEU will consist of three cars: two filter cars, one of which will house the operator’s cab, and a third center
car which houses the vacuuming system.
 
Background investigations and Questionnaires submitted by NEU disclosed no “significant adverse information” within the meaning
of the All-Agency Responsibility Guidelines. Procurement and DCE finds NEU to be responsible and the NYC Transit Controller’s
Office determined that the firm is financially qualified to receive this contract award.
Note, this contract is subject to review and approval of the Office of the NY State Comptroller (OSC) and award will not be made
prior to this approval.
 
MBE/WBE:
Based on the Scope of Work and lack of subcontracting opportunities, no goals were established.
 
IMPACT ON FUNDING:
Additional funding has been made available via the Capital Plan Amendment staff summary dated July 28, 2014 providing funding
for the Service Vehicles category of NYC Transit’s 2010-2014 Capital Program, which allowed a $35.6 million budget to be
established for the Purchase Vacuum Trains project. This $35.6 million budget was based on an earlier bid estimate (prior to
advertisement) of $26.5 million to purchase two vacuum trains, plus design and support costs. Since the negotiated price of
$22,966,046 for the purchase of three trains is less than the earlier bid estimate, there is sufficient funding in the project budget to
award the project.
 
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board approve award of a competitively solicited contract to NEU International Railways for the purchase
of three vacuum trains at a total price of $22,966,046 and concurrently approve a scope increase to the Purchase Vacuum Train
project in the 2010-2014 Capital Program for a total of three vacuum trains.

MTA will shutdown (A)© line Cranberry Tunnel for next 40 WEEKENDS in Spring 2015

 

Starting next spring, the Cranberry Street Tunnel, which is used by A and C trains between Brooklyn and Manhattan, will be closed for 40 non-consecutive weekends. This subway system is going to be so awesome once it's finished.

Andy Inglesby, the MTA's Assistant Director for Government and Community Relations, shared the news with Brooklyn Community Board 2's Transportation and Public Safety Committee at their meeting Tuesday night. We reported in April that the A/C and F lines would need repairs that "won't require round-the-clock work," but this is the first update we've received on a timeframe or duration. During repair weekends, the A/C will be rerouted along the F line between Jay St/MetroTech and West 4th Street, using the Rutgers Street Tunnel.

Inglesby also said at the meeting that he sent a letter to various public officials informing them of the details of the tunnel closure. Attempts to obtain that letter were unsuccessful, but Adam Lisberg, the MTA's Director of External Communications, confirmed the 40-weekend closure and rerouting, noting "closures will start next year and continue into early 2016. No particular dates chosen yet."

Asked about the nature of the repairs, Lisberg said, "The Cranberry Tubes fortunately did not suffer the same level of damage [from Hurricane Sandy] as the Montague and Greenpoint tunnels, and don't require the same level of disruption to repair them. The work involved will be largely electrical, including replacing tunnel lighting, communication cables and antenna cables. Since most of the tunnel structure will be undisturbed, this type of work can be performed during weekend shutdowns instead of long-term tube closures.

"We are working with local elected officials and community representatives to plan the schedule for these weekend shutdowns so we can perform this vital work while minimizing the unavoidable disruption to customers who use these tubes on the weekends."

NY-NJ Cross Habor Freight Tunnel: November 2014 study release; Lots of people concern... Download files: http://www.panynj.gov/about/CHFP_draft_Tier_1_EIS/CHFP_Tier1_EIS_downloads.html

The construction of a Cross Harbor Rail and Freight Tunnel beneath New York Harbor between New York City and New Jersey is again making inroads towards becoming a reality – nearly a decade after the over 30-year-old project was put on the back burner due to then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s opposition.

The new movement comes with the release of a “Draft Tier I Environment Impact Statement” (EIS) by the Port Authority of NY and NJ and the Federal Highway Administration, which lists the positive and negative impacts of such a tunnel on surrounding neighborhoods, including Brooklyn’s Bay Ridge, Borough Park and Flatbush communities, as well as other areas that lead into Queens, Long Island, Westchester and southern Connecticut.

Supporters tout the tunnel as a key infrastructure project critical to the New York metropolitan area’s ability to transport products efficiently.

“The New York region moves goods extremely inefficiently, largely by road-clogging trucks, and to terrible effect,” said Congressmember Jerrold Nadler, one of the staunchest proponents of the Cross Harbor Tunnel project.

“It will reduce pollution, reduce the cost of goods and the cost of doing business, grow jobs, and make us all safer,” said Nadler, “by both ensuring easier movement of emergency vehicles and securing an additional route by which we can get vital goods into the region, should our primary route be compromised.”

At issue is the large and ever-increasing volume of trucks on New York thoroughfares, bringing into the region the goods from outside that are needed by the growing population of the city and nearby suburbs. Now, much of that traffic utilizes such entry points as the Verrazano Narrows Bridge (which currently carries an average of 195,000 vehicles a day) and the George Washington Bridge - a situation that will continue to get worse if nothing is done, said Laura Shabe, manager of the Cross Harbor Freight Program for the Port Authority, in 2011.

Mayor Bill de Blasio and U.S. Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand also voiced support for the tunnel, with de Blasio calling it a “smart investment” towards “making our city more sustainable” and Schumer touting it as an example of big-picture planning “for the future economic growth of the region. . .without unduly burdening any community [when] done right.” 

However, some residents of Flatbush and Boro Park are concerned about exactly that possibility of “undue burden” on their communities, specifically regarding vibrations, noise and pollution from passing freight trains on apartment buildings, homes and businesses – which sit directly adjacent to the track. Environmental studies dating to when the project was last active raise concern about whether the impacts could be mitigated, particularly with respect to buildings more than two stories in height.

“No one’s against [the project], but there are a lot of unanswered questions and people are concerned early and rightfully so,” said Morris Sacks, member-at-large and former co-chair of Community Board 14’s Transportation Committee – which covers Midwood, Flatbush and parts of Kensington.

“The concern is with the [rail] cuts being used for freight. The trains would connect to the old Bay Ridge railroad line, lead to Avenue H and I, and increase one track to two tracks plus use for freight,” explained Sacks. “Vibrations, noise, potential pollution. . . currently, trains are much improved than what they once were, but they are still a source of pollution.”

MTA Celebrates Re-opening of Mother Clara Hale Depot With Ribbon-Cutting
 
November 20th, 2014

Martha Clara Hale Bus Depot

Metropolitan Transportation Authority Chairman and CEO Thomas F. Prendergast, New York City Transit officials, union representatives, and community and elected officials celebrated the re-opening of the Mother Clara Hale Bus Depot with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Harlem on Thursday, November 20.  The depot opens for limited service on Sunday, November 23.

The new depot will house 120 buses serving the M1, M7, M35, and SBS M15 routes when the facility fully opens on January 4, 2015.  It consists of three floors, a mezzanine and has the capacity for 150 buses.  That will allow NYC Transit to accommodate any growth in the future. Starting Sunday, three routes will operate out of the depot: M9, SBS M60, and M98, with more joining them in January.

 NYC Transit worked with Harlem-based advocacy group WEACT and local officials involve the community in the depot’s design, which emphasized environmental mitigations.  The final result includes LEED certification; a green roof that uses plants to cool the facility, absorbs CO2 from the air, and reduces storm-water runoff; thermal insulation to save energy and reduce emissions; a solar wall that serves as a passive heating device; rainwater collection for water treatment to wash buses; cost-effective and energy efficient Heat Recovery Units on the roof for a heat exchanger and; a high efficiency white roof that will prevent heat gain in warmer weather, but will not reflect light onto nearby buildings or cause glare.

“It’s one of the most environmentally friendly facilities we’ve ever built, with state-of-the-art bus maintenance equipment that will go a long way toward enhancing service while minimizing our footprint on the surrounding community,” Chairman Prendergast said.

The Mother Clara Hale Depot was built in 1890 as a trolley barn and was modified in 1939 to become the 146 St Bus Depot.  It was rehabilitated in 1990 and renamed to honor Mother Clara McBride Hale in 1993.  In January 2009, NYC Transit began demolition to rebuild the depot for modern bus operations. Testing and commissioning activities started in March 2014, with final completion in November 2014 of the $262 million project. 

President Carmen Bianco commended the design, saying it “includes enough space onsite for employee parking and has an off-street queuing area for returning buses, which eliminates the need to wait on the street outside the depot.  Inside the depot, a system of interior traffic lanes and ramps allows all buses to enter and exit via Lenox Av to improve traffic flow.”

“This is a project several years in the making,” said Darryl Irick, Senior Vice President of Buses for MTA New York City Transit and President of the MTA Bus Company.  “And with the community’s involvement and input from the start, we have been able to deliver a modern, sustainable depot that will serve Manhattan residents for years to come.” 

NYC Transit made every effort to use Harlem-based firms and local personnel for the new depot.  The MTA worked with elected officials, trade unions, and private vendors to model programs that resulted in local training and hiring. 

MTA Arts & Design and NYC Transit also incorporated artwork into the depot’s design. The façade is embellished by the first art project coordinated by MTA Arts & Design for a bus depot.  “Mother Hale’s Garden,” by artist Shinique Smith, encompasses large-scale mosaic artwork installed on the east facade of the depot facing Lenox Avenue, and laminated glass artwork in windows on the north and south sides of the building.  The combined square footage is approximately 6,672 square feet. Smith collected clothing, fabric and other items from the community surrounding The Hale House and the site of the Mother Clara Hale Bus Depot to incorporate in her artwork. Ms. Smith also worked with first-grade students at PS242 to draw flowers and incorporated the children’s drawings into her glass artwork for the north and south windows of the depot.

Summary

During the time period between May 2013 and March 2014 the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) launched investigative teams to five significant accidents on the Metro-North Railroad (Metro-North): 

(1) the May 17, 2013, derailment and subsequent collision in Bridgeport, Connecticut; 

(2) the May 28, 2013, employee fatality in West Haven, Connecticut; 

(3) the July 18, 2013, CSX drailment on Metro-North tracks in The Bronx, New York; 

(4) the December 1, 2013, derailment in The Bronx, New York; and 

(5) the March 10, 2014, employee fatality in Manhattan, New York. In combination, these accidents resulted in 6 fatalities, 126 injuries, and more than $28 million in damages.

This special investigation report discusses all five of the recent Metro-North accidents investigated by the NTSB, examines some of the common elements of these accidents, and addresses the steps that Metro-North, the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA), and the Federal Railroad Administration have taken as a result of these investigations. This report also highlights lessons learned and provides recommendations to Metro-North, MTA, and several other entities to improve railroad safety on Metro-North and elsewhere.

MTA: We Can't Stop Subway Overcrowding

If you take the subway to get to work, you’ve noticed it: the MTA says subways are more crowded than they’ve ever been, and even as a fare hike is being proposed, the MTA says there’s nothing they can do about the overstuffed trains. Andrew Siff explains why,.
