LIRR is set to resume service at midday after cutting a deal to end the strike

• The Long Island Rail Road is set to resume service after the MTA reached a deal with striking workers.
• The strike disrupted up to 300,000 daily commuters traveling between Long Island and New York City.
• The MTA says it will continue to offer alternative travel options, urging commuters to continue WFH on Tuesday.

The MTA said it will continue offering alternative travel options, including shuttle buses, as service ramps back up. Officials also urged commuters to continue working from home on Tuesday.

The walkout marked the LIRR’s first strike since 1994.

The development came just days before the Memorial Day weekend, one of the busiest travel periods of the year, when many New Yorkers rely on the LIRR to reach the Hamptons — the affluent beach destination at the eastern end of Long Island, about 70 miles from Manhattan.
