, aimed at establishing “omnipresence” and deterring both crime and the perception thereof, following a particularly violent period in 2022 on the rails.
The increased enforcement stemmed, in part, from the Governor and Mayor’s October announcement that they were funding 1,200 additional police overtime hours daily in the subway system. Furthermore, the MTA hired private contractors to guard fare gates, intended to deter turnstile-jumping. The station with the highest number of arrests was not Times Square or Union Square, but Broadway Junction in Brooklyn. Eighty-nine percent of the population in ZIP Code 11207, where the station is located, is Black or Latino.
MTA Board member David Jones, also the president of the Community Service Society and a longtime critic of fare evasion policing, said at the NYCT committee on Tuesday he is “worried” about the persisting racial disparities even as transit officials step up enforcement.
