DiNapoli: Security measures still behind schedule

by Benjamin Kabak

New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli has issued yet another report about the state of the MTA’s security efforts. According to this latest missive — available here as a PDF — the MTA’s capital security program won’t wrap up until 2011, three years after it was originally supposed to debut and ten years after the attacks of 9/11. Most alarming are the cost increases. The program is now set to cost $837 million, up 42 percent from the initial estimate of $591 million. The report does offer up some praise for the MTA’s popular “See Something, Say Something” campaign. [Office of the New York State Comptroller]
