About the project
We're committed to increasing accessibility throughout our transit system. In 2022, the MTA and accessibility advocates announced an agreement that reaffirms the MTA’s commitment to systemwide accessibility and provides a clear path to provide ADA access at 95% of stations by 2055. The MTA has made unprecedented progress towards this goal, delivering more ADA stations in the last five years than in the previous 10 years combined. The 2025-2029 Capital Program builds on this momentum, committing a historic $7.1 billion to further expand accessibility across the system.

Accessibility upgrades prioritized in the 2025-2029 Capital Plan
The MTA's 2025-29 Capital Plan dedicates a historic $7.1 billion to making 60 more subway stations accessible. With these investments, more than two-thirds of all subway rides will take place to or from accessible stations by the time this plan is complete. These stations have been identified to date, with more to be named as the 2025-29 Capital Plan progresses.

In addition to adding new elevators and ramps, regular elevator and escalator replacements are crucial to keep our system running. The MTA awarded projects to replace and modernize all 78 elevators and 66 escalators included in the 2020-2024 Capital Plan, and the 2025-2029 Capital Plan includes replacing an additional 45 elevators and 43 escalators.
