Moving to state funding for the subway safety plan.

1:05:54

The state fiscal twenty twenty five enacted a budget including 777,000,000 over the two years to cover overtime cost of officers on subway platforms and in subway cars.

This funding announced this funding was announced as a match to what the city will spend to increase deployments to the subway system.

1:06:17

How much is the NYPD spent on increasing subway deployments over the past year?

So

Kristine Ryan

to date, we've spent $71,000,000 in transit safety over time specifically.

1:06:37

With regard to the funding committed by the governor that's gonna be split between the governor and the city, that on the city fund side is estimated to be $98,000,000 60 6 million dollars will enable us to continue to have five thousand hours of transit safety overtime daily, something we've been doing at varying levels, and this funding will allow us to continue that at least through June.

1:07:03

And there's an additional $32,000,000 associated with the officers on the overnight.

1:07:09

The reason that the governor's investment cited was $77,000,000 is because there's been discussion about the state also covering the fringe portion of these costs, so that $98,000,000 in city funds when you add fringe to it, the total cost for those two programs for that six month period is $154,000,000
