Adams and Duffy Tackle NYC Subway Crime with Federal Support

New York City Mayor Eric Adams and U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy toured the city’s subway system, pledging federal assistance to combat rising transit crime.

On Friday, Mayor Eric Adams and U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy embarked on a subway tour in New York City, highlighting the federal government’s commitment to addressing the city’s transit crime issues. The duo, accompanied by NYPD Chief of Transit Joseph Gulotta, rode the BQE line from Brooklyn into Manhattan, engaging with the public and media at the Broadway-Lafayette station.

Secretary Duffy emphasized the Trump administration’s readiness to support New York City, stating, “You’ll find the Trump administration and the Department of Transportation are great partners with New York. Let’s make it beautiful for the riders of the subway system.” This visit follows Duffy’s recent letter to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), urging them to provide data on rider assaults, police patrols, and fare evasion to help restore order.

Despite a statistical decrease in subway crime in early 2025, high-profile incidents continue to unsettle commuters. Recent events include a man being shoved in front of a train and a woman being set on fire by an illegal immigrant. These incidents have led to increased public concern and instances of self-defense among subway riders.

Mayor Adams praised the federal government’s involvement but criticized the state’s response, particularly Governor Kathy Hochul’s administration, for not rolling out new initiatives to support the MTA. Adams, who recently announced his intention to run for re-election as an independent, stressed the need for more state support to address issues like involuntary movement and homelessness in the subway system.

Both Adams and Duffy expressed their commitment to working together to bypass state-level obstacles and directly tackle the crime plaguing the city’s transit system. Duffy concluded, “I think Albany has to think deeply about how far we have to go in order to stop [crime]. That’s more resources, that’s more tools that Albany has to give [the NYPD] to arrest people.”
