New York City Transit Welcomes Craig Cipriano as President
Craig Cipriano has been appointed as the president of New York City Transit (NYCT), effective January 3, 2022. With over 36 years of experience in planning and executing large-scale multi-dimensional programs, Cipriano is set to lead the nation's largest public transportation agency.
As acting president, Cipriano has already demonstrated his leadership capabilities, overseeing a workforce of more than 50,000 employees at NYCT. This makes him the natural choice to take on the role permanently, as he steps into the shoes left by Janno Lieber, who is stepping down as president of MTA Capital Construction.
The four-year capital program of NYCT, under Cipriano's leadership, is projected to be over $35 billion. This significant investment will be instrumental in addressing the ongoing challenges facing the public transportation system, including the COVID-19 pandemic and aging infrastructure.
Cipriano's extensive experience extends beyond NYCT. He is also the senior vice president and national director of zero emissions mobility at STV, a leading transportation consulting firm. This expertise in zero emissions mobility will be invaluable as NYCT strives to modernize its system and improve service reliability.
In his previous role as president of Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Bus Company, Cipriano set forth a path for the company to have a zero emissions fleet by 2040. This commitment to sustainability is a testament to his forward-thinking approach to transportation.
Under Cipriano's leadership, NYCT will continue to provide services to over seven million daily customers, including subway, bus, and paratransit. His goal is to enhance the customer experience, while also working to improve service reliability and modernize the system.
Cipriano's appointment comes at a critical time for NYCT. The operating budget of NYCT, under his leadership, is expected to be over $13 billion. With this significant responsibility, Cipriano is poised to navigate the challenges ahead and steer NYCT towards a brighter future.
