AMNY Subway Tracker

A computerized system that monitors elevators and escalators is on its way to tracking breakdowns throughout the subway system.
The MTA transit committee approved a $1.3 million project to expand the system from a three-year test-pilot of 44 elevators. The system will track outages in a more complete and central way.
Outages would continue to be posted to the MTA's Web site. New York City Transit now relies on employees' and customers' phoned-in reports.
The plan goes before the full board for a vote on Wednesday.
