Saritha Komatireddy

Komatireddy proposes a zero-tolerance policy for transit crimes, including creating a Transit Crimes Strike Force to prosecute offenses that district attorneys are not pursuing, banning repeat and violent offenders from the subway, and supporting legislation for enhanced penalties for crimes committed on mass transit (e.g., making assault in transit a felony, treating murder in transit as first-degree murder, and creating a new felony for reckless endangerment on public transportation).
