The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) plans to put two cameras in each train car in a project expected to take three years to complete, Gov. Kathy Hochul said.
FILE - A video surveillance camera hangs from the ceiling above a subway platform, Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2020 in the Brooklyn borough of New York. All subway cars in New York will soon be equipped with security cameras in an effort to keep riders safe and solve crimes happening in train stations, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced Tuesday, Sept. 20. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority New York City Transit received about $5.
Anticipating possible privacy or civil liberties concerns, Hochul said: “If you’re concerned about this, the best answer is don’t commit any crimes on the subway.” New York City’s subway system already has more than 10,000 existing security cameras in its 472 stations that have played a role in solving major crimes, though the system doesn’t work flawlessly.
The MTA received about $5.5 million in state and federal funding to purchase and install the cameras. About 200 cameras will be installed each month, with the project wrapping sometime in 2025.
