Records requested include the “Comments” text submitted with claims for lost or stolen MetroCards.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Hi Gail,
Thank you very much for the response. Would it be possible to email me the original spreadsheet that was used to create the PDF document? It would be easier for me in terms of assessing the data you provided.
Thank you.

From: Rogers, Gail
Hi Mr. Trotter: I'm not sure it originated in that format, but I will
inquire; however, if you are speaking a need to "search" the document,
there is a "find" feature in the PDF document. Gail

Hi Gail,
Thank you for checking. I am indeed able to search the document, but I was hoping to track how many cards were marked “lost” vs. “stolen,” and when. I can’t easily do that without the data in spreadsheet form.
Thank you again.
From: J.K. Trotter
Hi Gail,
Did you have any luck with getting the PDF contents in spreadsheet (Excel) form? The request in question was assigned the reference number #17965.
Thanks,

From: Rogers, Gail
I should be able to get it for you; I'll get back to you.
