The MTA installed subway barriers at 56 stations across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens to improve safety in the subway system. This initiative aligns with Governor Kathy Hochul's goal to install barriers at over 100 stations by the end of 2025. The installation complements existing safety measures such as LED lighting and security cameras in subway cars. Hochul emphasized the importance of safety for riders, while MTA officials noted a correlation between safety improvements and increased customer satisfaction in recent years.
"New Yorkers' safety will always be my number one priority, and customers need to both feel and be secure every time they ride the subway."
"We're making investments to ensure that our system not only is safe but - equally important - feels safe to riders."
