The MTA has already pledged an internal review of its poor response to December’s blizzard, and now its own internal watchdog will do the same. Barry Kluger, the MTA inspector general, will conduct an investigation into the agency’s response to the snow storm, The Wall Street Journal reported today. He will explore “the way the MTA prepared for the storm and the way it responded” as well as “the agency’s emergency plans and whether they were properly implemented.”
Authority officials said they welcomed Kluger’s investigation even as they conduct their own. “We are working on our own comprehensive review and welcome the Inspector General’s review as we all look to improve performance moving forward,” MTA spokesman Jeremy Soffin said to the Journal. I have to believe we’ll see some significant changes in the way the MTA responds to weather alerts before the next big snow storm of the season hits the region.

Have they released any specifics about subway service during and after the blizzard? I’d be curious to see like how many 6 trains ran on that Monday versus how many were scheduled, stuff like that, as well as a list of all the full closures and how long they were closed.
