Jacobs selected by New York MTA as consultant for LIRR project

Jacobs (J) was selected by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority, or MTA, as the program management consultant for the Long Island Rail Road, or LIRR, station improvements project. Jacobs will provide program management services, overseeing construction and commercial management, design compliance and risk identification. The design-build contract includes updating LIRR’s Babylon, Forest Hills and Hollis stations to bring them into Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA, compliance – increasing the population that can access and enjoy this public amenity. LIRR serves nearly 260,000 customers daily. Improvements are expected to include installation and rehabilitation of ADA compliant elevators, escalators, ramps, platform and canopy replacements as well as architectural and wayfinding upgrades that improve functionality and provide a more comfortable customer experience. MTA estimates the total contract value for this project at $227.5M and final completion is anticipated in 2026.
