    April 12, 2018 Mr. Joseph Lhota Chairman Metropolitan Transportation Authority 2 Broadway New York, NY 10004 Re: Selected Safety and Security Equipment at Train Stations Report 2017-S-84 Dear Mr. Lhota: Pursuant to the State Comptroller’s authority as set forth in Article X, Section 5 of the State Constitution and Section 2803 of the Public Authorities Law, we examined selected safety and security equipment at train stations at the Staten Island Railway, a unit of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, for the period January 1, 2014 to September 12, 2017. The objective of our audit was to determine whether the Staten Island Railway has taken appropriate action to ensure that equipment, such as cameras and Customer Assistance Intercoms, are working, tested, maintained, and monitored. Background Staten Island Railway (SIR) is a subsidiary of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). Administratively, SIR is a separate operating unit, reporting to New York City Transit’s (Transit) Department of Subways. SIR operates a single rapid transit line that runs the length of Staten Island (about 14 miles) from St. George Terminal to the southern terminal at Tottenville. SIR’s management oversees capital projects at its 21 train stations, maintains the stations’ structural components, and ensures that security equipment installed at the stations is working, monitored, and tested. As of June 8, 2017, SIR had 199 Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras, 42 stand-alone cameras, and 43 Customer Assistance Intercoms (CAI) – intended for customer use in emergencies – at an estimated cost of approximately $21 million for the new system, excluding the stand-alone cameras.
