No Transit Bureau chief has ever been a better partner than Michael Kemper in creating strategies to reduce subway crime and improve quality of life for riders and transit workers.
According to NYPD statistics, the NYC subway system has seen an overall 5.2% drop in crime year to date. In July alone, transit crime reduced by 19.7%.
We're hyper-focused on fare evasion... Every person that we stop for fare evasion that has a gun on them, that's a huge, huge win.
Kemper leaves this role with a legacy that includes the lowest number of subway robberies since record keeping began, and fewer serious transit crimes overall than before the pandemic.
