Make the NYC subway system safe again by deploying officers to every station, clearing encampments, and moving unhoused New Yorkers into shelter.
What was promised
What actually happened
Transit crime fell 5.4% in 2024 and over 8,000 New Yorkers have been moved from subways into shelter since the Subway Safety Plan launched. However, high-profile violent incidents on the subway continued to dominate headlines, and riders still report feeling unsafe. In FY2024, DSS helped a record 18,500 households transition from shelters to stable homes.
