Impact analysis
Expect to see potential tax dollars diverted toward emergency safety audits and expensive infrastructure upgrades to prevent future accidents.
Transit workers and daily commuters stand to gain the most from the implementation of stricter safety regulations and better-maintained tracks.
Taxpayers might feel the pinch if these necessary safety fixes lead to higher transit fares or budget cuts in other city departments.
