Dennis Varley, the new chief of stations joins the T after a three-decade career in transportation in New York. Varley is tasked with helping make Boston's subway, commuter rail and buses safe, secure and clean for riders.
Varley said he is already working to establish a system to monitor station maintenance. “There'll be station inspections with all the fixes, and then we'll have a condition assessment so that we get a baseline, and then we can track [maintenance] from there," he said.Varley has three decades of experience in transportation. He worked for the Metropolitan Transit Authority and the Long Island Rail Road. Then he took a call from Eng.
Varley said he has major challenges ahead in this new role, from visiting all the stations in the system to getting to know the entire staff. He said he can't speak for the disinvestment that happened before he arrived, but he's hopeful he can drive improvements. While crews replace tracks along the Red Line’s Ashmont Branch and Mattapan Line to relieve slow zones, Varley said his team will work to make the more than 30-year-old station “safe and welcoming.”
