The MTA's security equipment is vital to riders' personal safety and critical to transit and first responders...environment that demands CCTVs and other devices get inspected and maintained regularly. When security equipment fails it can have severe consequences.
DiNapoli's audit found that four of the 30 projects to install CCTVs and other electronic security systems were delayed...transit's pool of Small Business Mentoring Program contractors...nine projects experienced delay due to unspecified problems.
Transit officials cited the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic as reasons for the delays...changes in maintenance due to staff reductions and the increase in security equipment added further strain.
