Abstract:The New York Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) and its operating elements, the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA), the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), Metro-North Commuter Railroad, Long Island Bus (LI Bus), and the Staten Island Rapid Transit Operating Authority were subjected to the largest and most comprehensive safety inspection ever conducted of a public transit system. The investigation, which consisted of top-down interviews and on-site inspections, involved a detailed review to identify safety and security hazards. The investigation revealed many areas of concern, including that system safety programs, and in particular, the implementation of the System Safety Program Plan (SSPP) was not functioning properly. In response to the findings, the MTA requested the assistance of the FTA in addressing those issues relating to an effective system safety process and an effective system SSPP. Recognizing that this may be a national issue, the FTA in conjunction with the New York State Public Transit Safety Board (PTSB) and MTSA sponsored a workshop. The workshop was attended by 38 individuals, representing the MTA, PTSB, industry, and U.S. Department of Transportation. The workshop introduced 142 issues relating to system safety and proposed 69 solutions. The attendees ranked the proposed solutions and agencies and identified where action would be initiated to implement the top 18 solutions.
