Subways boss breaks ‘glass’s’

Stand clear of the closing gender gap — the W train has arrived.

Sally Librera (right) will take over as the MTA’s first female head of subways on Monday, overseeing all aspects of the embattled NYC transit system.

“This is a critical time for subways and we need to be looking at every aspect of our operation and challenging convention across the board,” said Librera, who will make $234,000 a year.

“Part of questioning everything we do involves making that conversation as inclusive as possible, involving as many diverse perspectives as possible.”

Her appointment is part of a larger organizational shift by new NYC Transit President Andy Byford, who turned one job overseeing the subways into three, with Librera at the helm as the senior VP for subways. Frank Jecyzki will report to her as executive VP and chief operating officer for the subways, handling its dayto-day functions. Another exec yet to be named will oversee stations, customer service and “front of house” issues, Byford said.

“You just get way better decisions if you have women — and for that matter, people of color — on your executive team, rather than if you just have a team of clones of white men,” he said.

Librera joined the MTA in 2004. Last year she was the first woman to lead the Staten Island Railway.
