Embattled Railroad President Resigns After Critical State Report

Henry Yan
Embattled Long Island Railroad President Patrick Nowakowski resigned on April 11. The State Comptroller’s Office opened an investigation in March this year. The state report found that LIRR delays in 2017 cost riders millions of dollars. LIRR’s on-time rate was at its lowest level in nearly 18 years. In 2017, 21,400 Long Island trains were delayed or canceled. That was an increase of 20% from 2016 and cost riders roughly $75 million. The LIRR is one of the most important public transportation links between Long Island and New York City. According to MTA data, the number of Long Island commuters reached 89 million passengers between 2011 and 2016. NTD TV Henry Yan reporting in New York
