Each of New York City’s 472 subway stations are now equipped with security cameras.
Transit leaders over the last year have ramped up efforts to put more eyes in the sky to beef up security. At the start of the year, fewer than 60% of subway stations had cameras, which hampered the NYPD’s efforts to investigate transit crimes.
But the work sped up this year — and Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials said a push by former interim NYC Transit president Sarah Feinberg to install “a new class of cameras that could be deployed more quickly and at much lower cost than traditional cameras” helped quicken the rollout.
“We have delivered on Sarah’s commitment to accelerate the camera roll-out as we look to restore confidence in the system,” said interim NYC Transit president Craig Cipriano, who succeeded Feinberg in July after she resigned from her post.
