- Fare evasion: Transit and legal advocates slam Mamdani’s NYPD for continuing ‘aggressive’ enforcement despite campaign promises to ease back
The Legal Aid Society accused Mayor Zohran Mamdani's NYPD of maintaining aggressive fare evasion enforcement similar to Eric Adams' administration, with data showing 3,188 arrests and 26,267 summonses in Q1 2026. New Yorkers of color accounted for 94% of arrests and 81% of summonses. NYPD countered that enforcement declined 15% compared to Q1 2025 and shifted focus to high-crime areas.
