Mark Epstein Passing

As you have probably heard, Mark Epstein, chair of LIRRCC, passed away last week. A member of the Council since 2009, Mark made all riders’ issues his issues. As Chair of the Long Island Rail Road Commuter Council, Mark worked to improve the commute for his neighbors throughout Long Island. He focused on issues that riders cared about deeply, ranging from on time performance, to parking, to safety, about which he cared deeply. He was extremely active in his community and was always meeting with elected officials to present his unique perspective as a rider and commuter, and to call for improvements.
