Make your next subway trip right on time. smarter. safer. smoother. surprise-free. right on time.
Trakkr is a free transit safety tool for NYC commuters. Enter any address and TrakkRecord™ — the engine behind Trakkr — tells you the safety outlook for the nearest station and which elevators are likely to break down before you leave the house.
Not affiliated with the MTA or NYPD.
The subway shouldn't be a guessing game.
4.3 million riders use the NYC subway every day. Most of them find out about broken elevators and unsafe stations the hard way — on the platform, already late.
No Advance Warning
The MTA posts outage alerts after equipment goes down. By then you're already in the station. Trakkr identifies units at high service risk before they fail.
Unreliable Elevators
For wheelchair users, parents with strollers, and anyone with mobility needs, a broken elevator is not an inconvenience — it's a barrier. 689 elevator and escalator units across 180 stations, tracked and forecast monthly.
Hidden Crime Patterns
Crime data is public but buried. No one has time to sift through years of incident records before commuting. TrakkRecord™ reads the patterns and surfaces the risk level for your station, normalized by ridership volume.
Three steps to confidence.
TrakkRecord™ doesn't react to incidents. It identifies patterns before they become problems.
Enter a Station
Type any NYC subway station name into the search bar. The autocomplete pulls from every station in our dataset — 371 stations across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Queens.
Read the Predictions
TrakkRecord™ returns a SAFE / CAUTION / HIGH RISK verdict for crime, a 30-day elevator failure forecast, and a plain-language action plan — all in under a second.
Travel Confidently
Move through the city with data-backed decisions, not guesswork. Reroute early, plan alternatives, or simply know what to expect when you arrive. That's the difference. That's the TrakkRecord™.
Every report. One station.
No dashboards to learn. No subscriptions. Just the information you need before you board.
Crime Risk Score
A SAFE / CAUTION / HIGH RISK verdict based on five-plus years of station-level patterns, adjusted for how busy each station actually is. Context matters.
Elevator & Escalator Forecast
A 30-day forecast for every elevator and escalator at your station. Know which units are likely to break down — before you end up stuck on the platform.
Live MTA Alerts
Real-time service alerts for your line pulled directly from MTA feeds — delays, suspensions, and planned work — shown alongside the prediction so you see the full picture.
Built for anyone who rides.
Trakkr belongs to the people who use the subway every day — not the agencies that run it.
Daily Commuters
You ride the subway every weekday. Trakkr tells you which stations have elevated risk this month so you can plan accordingly — or just know what you're walking into.
Accessibility Riders
Wheelchair users, people with mobility aids, and anyone who depends on working elevators. Trakkr's 30-day forecast tells you which units are likely to fail so you can choose a reliable route before you leave.
Parents & Caregivers
Strollers don't do stairs. Parents traveling with children need working elevators and safe platforms. Trakkr gives you a heads-up, not a surprise at the turnstile.
Researchers & Advocates
Transit equity researchers, urban planners, and community advocates who need station-level safety and reliability data in one place — sourced, traceable, and reproducible.
Real Riders. Real Decisions.
Who Uses Trakkr
"Trakkr flagged the elevator at 149th St before my midterms. I made a backup plan instead of showing up panicked."
"Trakkr flagged Jamaica–179th a week before it went out. I rerouted in advance — not once late that month."
"The MTA tells me what broke. Trakkr tells me what's about to. First app that treats accessibility as a priority."
"Double stroller, twin toddlers — I need the elevator to work, no exceptions. Trakkr has saved us more times than I can count."
"50 lbs of tools every day. If the elevator's out, I'm late and I lose money. Trakkr pays for itself — except it's free."
"New to NYC from Mumbai, I had no idea which stations were safe at night. Trakkr gave me real data. I feel informed, not anxious."
"I'm 74 and stairs are off-limits. Before Trakkr I'd guess and sometimes end up stranded. Now I check first."
"Trakkr flagged one of my transfer stations as high-risk at night. I shifted one stop and haven't looked back."
"12 hours a day on the subway. I use Trakkr to route around elevator issues — completion rate up, stress down."
