New York State is poised to enact a ban on some sex offenders in New York’s mass transit system, a move long sought by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and long dreaded by civil libertarians.

The state budget that leaders are now finalizing would allow judges to ban individuals convicted of some sex crimes in mass transit from using the system for up to three years.

The MTA has pushed for the ban, arguing that those who commit sex crimes on the subway or bus do so again and again, creating a never-ending cat-and-mouse game for police and unnecessarily endangering customers.

Civil libertarians and some transit advocates, on the other hand, argue that not only would such a ban be hard to enforce, but it could prevent individuals from accessing the services they need to re-enter society.

“We oppose banning people from public space and piling more difficult-to-enforce mandates on the strapped MTA,” said Danny Pearlstein, the policy director at the Riders Alliance.

The budget appears to make some accommodation for those concerns.

“The court may, in its discretion, suspend, modify or cancel” such a ban if the individual in question depends on the system to access medical or legal appointments, school, jobs, to shop for groceries or other necessities, or to care for family members.

A spokesperson for the MTA had no immediate comment.
