A shooting on a New York subway train Tuesday morning has FOX 13 News asking how safe public transit is here in Utah.

Utah Transit Authority spokesman Carl Arky said in his five years with the agency, they've run a pretty safe system.

The agency has a police force of about 100 people. If something does happen, Arky added that they train regularly for things like natural disasters to incidents like what happened in New York. According to UTAs Ridership Portal, close to 103,000 people used the system every day in the month of March. He's hopeful these kinds of precautions they take will continue to keep people safe if something were to happen.
