The MTA has completed significant accessibility enhancements at Woodhaven Blvd JZ subway station, representing a $140 million project aimed at achieving full compliance with the ADA. Funded partly by a $177 million federal grant, upgrades include new elevators, modernized platforms, and enhanced safety features, serving approximately 3,500 daily riders. This innovative project not only bypasses the existing mezzanine with direct-to-platform elevators, saving costs, but also improves overall transit efficiency, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity and accessibility for all New Yorkers.
Today marks a significant milestone for our community as we celebrate the completion of Woodhaven Boulevard station's accessibility upgrades. Ensuring that our transit system is accessible to everyone is not just a legal obligation, but a moral one. This project reflects our commitment to creating a more inclusive New York, where all residents can navigate our city's transportation network with ease and dignity.
It is wonderful to see MTA investments that make New York City accessible for all New Yorkers. With these new elevators and fare gates in the station, people with mobility devices and strollers will have easier access when traveling on the subway.
