Work to install new subway faregates at twenty more stations will begin by the end of the year, Gov. Hochul announced Wednesday — while touting a significant reduction in fare evasion at the locations where the advanced fare controls are already installed.

“Every time a fare-beater steals a ride they’re stealing money meant for our trains and our buses, to keep them moving; they steal money that pays the salaries of our union transit workers,” Hochul said to reporters at the MTA’s Consolidated Revenue Facility in Maspeth. “Who foots the bill for the missing revenue? The taxpayers.”

An estimated 10% of subway riders have skipped out on the fare in the past year, according to MTA data.

High-tech fare gates have been in operation at 20 stations across the system for the past few months.

Those new gates have reduced fare evasion at the test-stations by an average of 35%, Hochul said.

At two stations — Nostrand Ave. on the A and C trains in Bedford-Stuyvesant and Hoyt St. on the Nos. 2 and 3 trains in Downtown Brooklyn — fare evasion has dropped by 72% at the entrances equipped with the new gates.

As previously reported, the new gates — manufactured by three firms currently vying for a system-wide contract — replace the traditional rotating arms of a turnstile with sliding vertical doors. Would-be fare-jumpers cannot easily get over the doors, and a suite of cameras and sensors are meant to catch scofflaws trying to get under the gates or sneak through behind a paying passenger.

The gates are also designed to make it easier for passengers with luggage, wheelchairs or baby strollers to get onto the platform.

MTA’s construction and development head Jamie Torres-Springer said the agency has seen an increase in passengers at the entrances with new faregates.

The next set of 20 stations slated to get new gates at all station entrances, officials said Wednesday.

In Manhattan, those stations will be:

14th St.-Union Sq.
the 72nd St. and Chambers St. stations on the Nos. 1, 2 and 3
the 86th St. and 125th St. stations on the Nos. 4, 5 and 6
the Spring St. station of the C and E train

In Brooklyn:

the Coney Island-Stillwell Ave. station
the Bedford Ave. L train station
the Myrtle Ave. station on the J, M and Z
Hoyt-Schermerhorn on the A, C and G
Newkirk Plaza on the B and Q
36th St. on the D, N and R

In the Bronx:

3 Ave.-149 St. on the No. 2 and No. 5
161 St.-Yankee Stadium on the B, D and No. 4
Parkchester on the No.6
Fordham Rd. on the B and D

and in Queens:

Astoria Blvd. on the N and W
Flushing-Main St. on the No. 7
Forest Hills-71 Ave on the E, F, M and R
Sutphin Blvd./Archer Ave. on the E, J and Z

The MTA has budgeted to start installing new fare gates at 150 of the system’s 472 stations by 2030.
