Historical Notes
The Transport Workers Union of America (TWU) Local 100 represents thousands of Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) employees. These workers include subway and bus operators, station and ticketing agents, equipment and infrastructure maintainers, and cleaners.
On and after 9/11, about 3,000 union members deployed to the World Trade Center. Many searched for victims. Transit operators drove thousands to safety and shuttled responders to the site. Machine operators cut beams and cleared rubble to create pathways. In damaged subway tunnels, cleaners removed dust and debris while maintainers restored services.
TWU Local 100 members assisted at Ground Zero throughout the nine-month rescue and recovery period.

Curator's Comment
After the 9/11 attacks, MTA plumber and TWU Local 100 member Alan Grande used this OEM issued pass to access his downtown Manhattan workshop. From September 13–15, he operated a vacuum truck to clear vents in subway lines that serviced the World Trade Center. He also searched for human remains. Grande reported to the site periodically through May 2002.
