Current Project

New Yaphank Station

LIRR is embarking on a proposal to replace the existing Yaphank Station.

Project Overview

The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) is considering relocating its existing Yaphank Station to a new site east of the present station in order to better meet current and future transportation demands associated with existing and future commercial and residential economic development projects in Central and Eastern Suffolk County.  By taking advantage of the ground work laid out by Suffolk County and their Master Plan this study will put the LIRR in a better position to leverage current and future commercial and residential economic development opportunities to offer more attractive service to LIRR customers.   

The LIRR will hire a consultant to assist the Railroad in selecting and evaluating potential sites for a preferred station location.  Two scenarios will be evaluated for each potential site: a new station to serve the existing diesel service currently operating, and a more robust station footprint to accommodate potential future electrification to the site.  The goal of this project is to identify a new station site suitable for either alternative, examine both alternatives according to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), select a preferred alternative, and prepare design documents which will be utilized to award one or more design/build contract(s). 

Regardless of which alternative, this project, when constructed, will provide improved rail transportation access for residents, employers, and employees in this rapidly growing area of the County.

Long Island is in the midst of historic change. For years, as other regions invested in areas like quality, affordable rental housing, mixed-use development, and public transit, LI was content with the status quo.

We sat silent as we watched droves of young people — educated in our outstanding public schools at significant expense — leave home and help create economic growth in other regions of our country.
