MTA Inspector General Daniel G. Cort announced today the results of an audit of the New York City Transit (NYC Transit) Help Point system — a network of 3,016 intercoms across all 472 subway stations that allow the public to report an emergency or request information and assistance. 

The findings showed that half of the Help Point calls made during a recent six-month period were deemed “mischief calls.” The Office of the MTA Inspector General (OIG) audit also found a significant number of emergency calls were not answered or experienced long delays before being answered. Further, NYC Transit’s practice is to answer calls in the order received without prioritizing emergency calls over information calls. Auditors found that NYC Transit was unaware of the extent of these issues.  

“The Help Point system is important for public safety, and an immediate response to genuine emergency calls is crucial,” said IG Daniel Cort. “This system is in need of significant improvements, and I appreciate NYC Transit’s cooperation with our audit and acceptance of our recommendations.”

Installation of the Help Point system, which cost approximately $252.7 million, was completed in 2018….

Working-class New Yorkers are the backbone of our city; they keep our city safe, healthy, clean, and help us continue to take the greatest city in the world to new heights. These dedicated workers deserve the chance to build a better future for themselves, their children, and their families. This includes securing good-paying jobs, affordable homes, and a world-class education for their children. That is why, from day one of our administration, we have focused on making New York City more affordable for working-class New Yorkers.

We have done this by helping to save New Yorkers more than $30 billion through programs that help them get ahead, like the “Earned Income Tax Credit,” which enables families and working-class people to have more money to pay for groceries, bills, and rent. We have helped New Yorkers in public housing access free high-speed internet and basic TV through Big Apple Connect, and we are on the path to eliminate medical debt for 500,000 New Yorkers — saving them an estimated $1.8 billion.

We have created homes that working people, families, immigrants, and young people need with back-to-back record years of building affordable housing; this includes a combined nearly 29,000 affordable and public housing units just this year. We signed two historic agreements with our partners in labor that allow us to build more and build faster, all while creating good-paying career pathways and apprenticeship opportunities for New Yorkers living in New York City Housing Authority housing or low-income zip codes.

But we’re still delivering for New Yorkers. Later this week, we will continue to advance the generational Willets Point transformation, which will deliver new, resilient infrastructure, the largest 100 percent affordable housing project in 40 years in our city, over 20,000 square feet of retail space, a 250-key hotel, and the city’s first-ever soccer-specific stadium for the New York City Football Club.

Also, this week, the City Council will vote on our historic “City of Yes for Housing Opportunity” proposal that will allow us to build a…
