Statement from MTA Chief Safety and Security Officer Pat Warren Responding to Federal Court Ruling on NY Gun Law

“Subways, buses, and railroads are no place for weapons or violence and every step possible to reduce and prevent the opportunity for riders and transit workers to be targeted needs to be taken. The NYPD and MTAPD are committed to vigilance and being visible on trains and in stations, but protecting New Yorkers is far more challenging when those who look for victims on trains and buses are emboldened to carry guns.”
