Fast Track This Week – F

October 26, 2016

    FASTRACK is a subway maintenance, cleaning, and repair program that shuts down segments of a subway line for several hours over consecutive weeknights, allowing our employees to perform a number of critical maintenance jobs. The line shutdown approach has proven successful in that, under normal conditions in our 24/7 system, the scope and breadth of this important work would be impossible to accomplish with customers and trains moving through work areas. Thus far, since FASTRACK began in 2012, the results have had a positive impact on service with a reduction in train delays and a decrease in the number of track fires, while realizing cost efficiencies and a lower accident rate for employees.

    FASTRACK begins weeknights at 10 PM and ends 5 AM the next morning. This service change will run for two weeks from October 24 – 28 and October 31* – November 4 nightly, ending Friday morning.
    (* FASTRACK begins at 11:30 PM on October 31)
