“Since the implementation of Governor Hochul’s five-point subway safety plan a year ago, we’ve real and tangible progress. Riders need and deserve to be safe and feel safe within the entire MTA system. Millions have been exercising their confidence every day with MetroCard swipes and OMNY taps, as ridership continues to set post-pandemic records. We’re thankful for Governor Hochul’s continued focus on safety throughout the MTA system and her commitment to ensuring it is affordable, accessible and reliable for decades to come.”
