Demetrius Crichlow is interim MTA New York City Transit president.
As a third-generation transit worker – following in the footsteps of my father and grandfather — it’s an honor to serve as interim president of New York City Transit. This isn’t just a job for me, it’s personal. New York City Transit is in the fiber of who I am.27 years ago as an assistant signal maintainer at the Long Island Rail Road. I was promoted through the ranks up to Train Movement Supervisor, overseeing operations at Penn Station Central Control.
I plan to build on the progress we’ve made enhancing facilities and upgrading technology, so we can focus on our mission of providing world-class transportation for millions of New Yorkers every day. Last month, we also began the first phase of the G line shutdown, so crews can install modern signals and do station improvements. Shuttle buses are running along its route in the meantime. While nobody likes service disruptions, there’s going to be a major pay-off for riders once the project is completed.
