A Fourth Regional Plan Recommendation
New York City’s subway stations are crowded, noisy, and uncomfortable. For people with disabilities, four in five stations are inaccessible. The MTA must make significant investments to improve air quality and the overall station environment, and ensure all stations are ADA-compliant. This will require more elevators; widening entrances, corridors, and platforms; adopting a variety of strategies to improve ventilation and reduce heat; and building platform screen doors.
