The MTA is bracing for potential emergencies as the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby move into the New York City area, MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said Friday.

In an interview on “Mornings On 1,” Lieber detailed the agency's preparations, which began on Thursday, saying all equipment had already been strategically positioned.

“We preposition all the equipment, especially the mobile pumping equipment, so we can respond if there's a localized flooding situation,” Lieber said. “On a dry day, the MTA pumps out 13 million gallons of water. We have enormous pumping capacity. It’s just those localized conditions that we want to be ready to respond to.”

The storm is expected to reach New York City late in the afternoon during the evening rush. Though, Lieber assured that no service disruptions are expected.

“Service has been running well yesterday and all through the night. We plan full service today. Everybody's gonna get home,” he said.

Lieber highlighted that winds will be the primary concern. The MTA will monitor conditions on above-ground lines, Metro North, Long Island Rail Road and MTA-operated bridges.

“What we do is we carefully monitor the conditions, and we prohibit tractor trailers, empty tractor trailers on the Verrazano and other bridges in many cases. The winds are a risk. We're tying down all the equipment, everything that's in the bus depots, everything that's at construction sites, to make sure that the wind— which is a risk—doesn't have negative impacts,” Lieber said.

Regarding rapid response to localized issues, Lieber noted that the agency has a well-established system in place.

“I mean, we are pretty good at this point at responding quickly. I would say that the principal areas of concern for everybody are major yards and facilities. We have low lying yards in the Bronx, for example, that can impact Metro North service, so we protect those yards that affect many lines, and those facilities that affect the whole system the most. But we have people spread around the system. We call in extra people to be ready for those momentary situations that you refer to. We're going to be ready,” he said.
