The Metropolitan Transportation Authority signed a $28 million contract with STV to upgrade its subway power system infrastructure. STV will address about a dozen substations and 12 circuit breaker houses, which are essential for converting utility power to the voltage needed by trains. The work will affect four boroughs and nearly every subway line in New York City.
