Rob Free ushered the LIRR through a remarkable post-pandemic rebound, with ridership reaching new highs. Congratulations on a well-earned retirement after 3+ decades of service to LI riders!
Long Island Rail Road President Rob Free announced Monday that he will step down on November 20, ending a career of more than 34 years with the railroad.
Free started working for the LIRR in 1992 cleaning train stations before working his way up to president in 2024.
During his time leading the railroad, he oversaw improvements in on-time performance and ridership, along with major challenges including a three-day union strike and a historic blizzard that shut down service.
Free said he felt the timing was right to leave and looks forward to spending more time with his family. The MTA plans to conduct a nationwide search for his replacement.

Happy Subway Day!
On this day in 1904, NYC’s first subway station opened to the public, and nothing has been the same since.
Today, we recommit ourselves to the mission of our subway system — to make our city more connected, accessible, and livable. ❤️
.@pcacriders and @nybuildingcongress warn the Trump admin is threatening NYC transit. Congestion pricing moved us forward, but the feds want to take us back w/ tariffs + cuts — we must stand strong to bolster this critical infrastructure for our city.

Congestion pricing is sending all the right signals!🚦
The program will help fund the replacement of nearly century-old equipment in Brooklyn and Queens, creating faster, more reliable service for 350,000 daily riders.

The MTA is proposing a new 125 Street Subway, which would extend west from the future 125 St/Lexington Av Q station. The project would connect existing subway lines—including the Second Avenue Subway—and bus routes along the corridor.
Learn more about this project at a public scoping meeting; we're hosting two virtual sessions on October 22, and one in-person session on October 27. Register for a session and get all the details: mta.info/project/125-street-…

Congestion pricing is giving Midtown a lift — literally! Revenue from the program funding new elevators at 42 St-Bryant Park, making the subway more accessible for all New Yorkers. thecityreporter.nyc/2026/10/…
