The following statement can be attributed to Lisa Daglian, Executive Director, Permanent Citizens Advisory Committee to the MTA (PCAC):
“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 evidenced by recent single-day post-pandemic ridership records. To make the system even safer and more welcoming, it’s critical that the MTA and its partners in the state and city expand the SCOUT program and services for the mentally ill, achieve 100% camera coverage in subway cars and reduce quality of life incidents.
“PCAC would like to express deep gratitude to Governor Hochul for her continued focus on safety throughout the MTA system and her commitment to ensuring it is affordable, accessible and reliable for decades to come.”
