As part of Disability Pride Month, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) announced on July 22 an additional 12 stations across four NYC boroughs that will receive elevators and other accessibility upgrades as part of the 2025-2019 Capital Plan. In Brooklyn, that includes five stations (two in Crown Heights); in the Bronx, three; and two each in Manhattan and Queens. In all, the plan calls for at least 60 more stations to be made Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant, ensuring that nearly 70% of all NYC subway rides will take place to or from an accessible station. The MTA also announced the launch of a revamped Elevator and Escalator Status Tool, making it easier for riders to check the status of any elevator or escalator. Improvements were made to the interface, navigation and search functionality. MTA is also using funds from congestion pricing to invest in ADA upgrades at 23 stations, including new elevators and reconstructed platforms.
