The Long Island Rail Road Commuter's Council (LIRRCC) was created by the New York State Legislature in 1981 to represent the official voice of LIRR riders. Our twelve volunteer members are appointed by the Governor upon the recommendation of the Nassau and Suffolk County Executives, and the Brooklyn and Queens Borough Presidents.

Chair: Gerard P. Bringmann

Council Reports

LIRR Research Project/Report Cards

The LIRRCC undertakes a project rating the rail road`s services each year. For many years, the Council conducted its LIRR Report Card ridership survey, but currently the Council's practice is to conduct annual projects that focus on a specific area of concern. Project reports are available on request, and the results of the most-recent projects are available for download in PDF format. Please see our research reports page.

LIRRCC Annual Report

The council reports to the public regularly on its recent activities. You may browse our latest annual report , or view an archive of all PCAC and past council quarterly reports.

Annual Public Forums

Every year, the Council sponsors a public forum at which riders are given the opportunity to speak directly with the LIRR President and senior management regarding aspects of railroad service and policy.
