The MTA is set to upgrade 12 subway stations across all five boroughs as part of its $68 billion capital plan for 2025-2029. These upgrades will include elevators, ramps, and other features aimed at improving accessibility for seniors, parents with strollers, and individuals with disabilities. The decision on which stations to upgrade involved public input and specific criteria such as ridership and geographic distribution. This initiative is part of a broader goal to achieve 95% accessibility at subway stations by 2055, which is a requirement of a 2022 legal settlement.
The MTA announced this week that 12 additional stations across all five boroughs will receive ADA upgrades under its $68 billion 2025-2029 capital plan.
For the first time, public input helped shape the plan via an online tool that drew more than 2,000 responses.
When it comes to accessibility, the MTA is delivering much more than ever before-both in terms of dollars and number of ADA stations.
A 2022 legal settlement requires the MTA to make 95-percent of all subway stations accessible by 2055.
