MTA / NYCT

Products: n/a. Risk band: Elevated   RobotRisk index 26.1/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 20 of 45 among Other companies with incidents (53 tracked).

Analyst brief

MTA / NYCT's record contains two entries: a May 20, 2026 subway signal system fault disrupting rush-hour service (severity 2) and a July 26, 2021 Queens Boulevard Line signal system outage (severity 3). MTA / NYCT's index of 26.1 ranks 20 of 45 companies in Other with incident history. The record is press-driven and spans nearly five years between the two entries, indicating recurrence of the same failure type (signal-system outage) rather than an escalating or diversifying pattern. The gap between events does not support a claim of an accelerating trend.
