The Federal Transit Administration's audit reveals that New York City's subway agency is endangering track workers' lives by not adhering to its safety protocols.
The FTA's findings highlight a substantial risk of death or injury, noting an increase from 24 to 38 close calls among subway workers between 2022 and 2023.
Demetrius Crichlow stated that NYCT is committed to worker safety, disputing FTA's assertion of negligence and emphasizing investigations into the fatal incidents.
The FTA demands stringent safety measures, including a comprehensive assessment and weekly monitoring, while NYCT maintains they are addressing safety concerns adequately.
