Choose the time periods and days you would like to receive Alerts or LIRR Elevator Outages for this subscription. Either customize your alert times with the Create a Time Period feature, or pick from Pre-defined Time blocks by opting not to customize. You may use only one method of selecting time periods (customized or pre-defined) per subscription.

Customized time periods are available in 30 minute increments. You can add any number of variations by choosing times and clicking the ‘Add Time Period and Days’ button after each. (Example: Add 6:00AM-8:00AM Monday-Friday, AND 4:00PM-6:30PM Monday, Wednesday, Thursday).

We recommend that you extend your alerts time frame to shortly before and shortly after your normal travel time to ensure you receive all necessary notifications.
