What is the policy for bringing pets on the Long Island Railroad?

The Long Island Railroad allows small domestic pets in carriers on its trains. Only dogs, cats, and small household birds are permitted. The pet must be in a secure and well-ventilated carrier, which must be small enough to fit on the passenger's lap or under the seat. Carriers should also be leak-proof and made of a safe material. Passengers are responsible for their pet's behavior and any damages caused. Pets should not obstruct pathways or disturb other passengers. Additionally, animals that are disruptive, aggressive, or pose a health or safety risk will not be allowed onboard. Service animals, such as guide dogs, are exempt from these regulations and can accompany their owners without any carrier requirement.
