In an effort to allay fears of crime and threats to personal safety, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) hopes to lure riders back on the New York City subway by installing two security cameras on every train car.
This week, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the MTA New York City Transit has received a $2 million award through the Urban Area Security Initiative federal grant program to provide funding for the installation of the video surveillance cameras across the entire fleet of subway cars.
