U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy criticized New York City's subway system as unsafe despite overall crime declines. He claimed assaults had increased by 66% since 2019. Duffy argued that state officials do not use the subway, reflecting a lack of concern for public safety. He labeled subway crime reduction as simple and accused the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of failing to address these issues. Duffy also condemned the city's congestion pricing program and the conversion of road lanes into bike lanes, asserting these policies lead to greater congestion.
Duffy stated, "It's dangerous to ride the subway in New York. This is a war on Middle Americans, working Americans who have to ride the subway."
Duffy criticized congestion pricing, arguing that it only raises money while congestion worsens due to the reduction of lanes for cars and buses.
