More than $33 million in MTA anti-terrorism funds has been released after a court ruling blocking the Department of Homeland Security from withholding it.

The governor's office previously said they'd use the funding for things like security cameras, safety awareness training for MTA workers and more.

It comes a week after two separate attacks at the Jay Street-MetroTech station where one man was killed.

NYPD crime statistics in the area of that subway show a jump in transit crime. So far this year, there have been 56 incidents in this area, compared to last year where there were 38.

Commuter Isabel Sanchez says she's been chased on the subway and hopes the new funding will actually make a difference.

“Another civilian stepped in front and told him to leave me alone. That was really scary. You know the people were just not really safe and I don’t think any of us feel safe, especially with the fact that there are a lot of attacks and we hear about them every day," said Sanchez.

News 12 reached out to the MTA to see how they choose which stations will get the resources.
