New York City (WABC) – New York City Mayor Eric Adams has called “mental health week” this week, and insists that allways are getting safer.
On Thursday morning, Mayor Adams announced that problems with homeless riders were improving.
The announcement comes just one day after the Trump administration threatened to reduce federal transport.
The mayor says the police and outreach teams met the homeless 11,000 times in the last six months, as part of the city’s partnership for the city’s partnership (PATH) program, which was removed from the system, which started in August 2024.
The path teams consist of DHS nurses and outreach staff who work with the NYPD transit police that access overnight at Manhattan subway stations from 8am to 12pm the next day.
The mayor says passengers should see the difference.
Adams said, “Here’s a feeling – ‘Oh wait a minute – it’s widespread,’ but no, these are very few people they have historically ignored.” “So, I think New Yorker is feeling like this, which is why we have decided not to ignore it.”
The mayor says the city is spreading mental health and expects it to make people feel safer in the subway.
