The MTA plans to put two cameras in each train car in a project expected to take three years to complete, Gov. Kathy Hochul said last week as she announced the effort at a rail yard in Queens. Daniel Schwarz, the New York Civil Liberties Union's technology and privacy strategist, said expanding subway camera surveillance is worrying given the MTA's lack of transparency around its camera and software systems.
The MTA received about $5.5 million in state and federal funding to purchase and install the cameras. About 200 cameras will be installed each month, with the project wrapping sometime in 2025.
