New Yorkers with disabilities are challenging the MTA over excessive gaps between subway trains and platforms that hinder their access, despite substantial investments in accessibility.
The Americans with Disabilities Act mandates strict limits on train-platform gaps, but many NYC subway stations, built over a century ago, exceed these legal requirements.
Upper West Sider Jacquelyn Goldenberg expressed her fear while approaching certain subway stations, especially as gaps can be larger than anticipated, posing significant risks.
Disabled riders have filed a lawsuit against the MTA to have large gaps between trains and platforms deemed illegal, highlighting the urgent need for corrective measures.
