The MTA put the mask enforcement in place at the beginning of the pandemic and started fining people back in September 2020. Violators risk facing a $50 fine.
Officials say they're reinforcing their mask efforts as ridership broke records since Labor Day and compliance levels have dimly dropped off.
The MTA says there is 87% mask compliance on NYC subways and 95% compliance on Metro-North.
It says if you see another rider without a mask on - you should not confront them and instead report it to officials.
