    • Abstract:
      The Trump administration is pressuring the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in New York City to address transit crime or risk losing federal funding for the subway system. US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has requested information on the MTA's plans to reduce crime and safety incidents, including details on fare evasion, criminal activity, and mitigation efforts. Governor Kathy Hochul has prioritized reducing transit crime, with efforts including deploying National Guard members and increasing police presence. Fare evasion rates have also shown improvement, with fewer riders skipping payment compared to previous years. [Extracted from the article]
