Through our continued partnership with the NYPD Transit Bureau under the leadership of newly appointed chief Joseph Collotta, we are increasing our communication channels so that New York City public schools will receive notification of every instance of the student involved subway surfing incident.

This will allow us to ensure that students involved receive direct services such as counseling supports, and their school communities receive the appropriate resources.

And we continue to collaborate with the Department of Youth and Community Development to hold youth focused groups to hear directly from students about how best to spread this important message on the dangers of subway surfing and to better understand some of the drivers for this behavior.
