The physical [[accessibility]] of the [[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]] (MTA)'s public transit network, serving the [[New York metropolitan area]], is incomplete. Although all [[MTA Regional Bus Operations|buses]] are [[wheelchair]]-accessible in compliance with the [[Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990]] (ADA), much of the MTA's rail system was built before wheelchair access was a requirement under the ADA. This includes the MTA's [[rapid transit]] systems, the [[New York City Subway]] and [[Staten Island Railway]], and [[commuter rail|its commuter rail]] services, the [[Long Island Rail Road]] (LIRR) and [[Metro-North Railroad]]. Consequently, most stations were not designed to be accessible to people with disabilities, and many MTA facilities lack accessible announcements, signs, tactile components, and other features.

A city law, the [[New York City Human Rights Law]], prohibits [[Ableism|discrimination on the basis of disability]]. Since 1990, [[elevator]]s have been built in newly constructed stations to comply with the ADA, with most grade-level stations requiring little modification to meet ADA standards. The MTA identified 100 "key stations", high-traffic and/or geographically important stations on the subway system, which have been or are being renovated to comply with the ADA.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://web.mta.info/accessibility/index.html |title=MTA Guide to Accessible Transit |publisher=New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority |access-date=March 8, 2010 |archive-date=April 3, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140403015633/http://web.mta.info/accessibility/index.html |url-status=live}}</ref>{{efn|name=key-stations}} One of the key tenets of the 2018 [[2017 New York City transit crisis#Fast Forward report|Fast Forward Plan]] to rescue the subway system is to drastically increase the number of ADA-accessible subway stations, adding accessible facilities to 70 stations by 2024. In 2022, the MTA agreed in a settlement to make 95 percent of subway and Staten Island Railway stations accessible by 2055.<ref name=nyt-2022-06-22/>

==Background==
The [[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]] (MTA) has been gradually adding [[Disability rights movement|disabled access]] to its key stations since the 1980s, though large portions of the MTA's transit system are still inaccessible. According to the MTA:

:In improving services to individuals with disabilities, the MTA identified stations and facilities where compliance with the [[Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990|Americans with Disabilities Act]] (ADA) would benefit the most people, analyzing such factors as high ridership, transfer points, and service to major areas of activity. These stations were given priority in our station-renovation program. We are continuing to expand accessibility features to more and more locations.<ref name="index">{{cite web |title=Accessibility |website=mta.info |url=http://web.mta.info/accessibility |access-date=September 11, 2016 |archive-date=January 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110100337/https://new.mta.info/accessibility |url-status=live}}</ref>

===History===
====1970s and 1980s====

In 1973, the [[Rehabilitation Act of 1973|Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973]] was signed into law. One provision of it, Section 504, was initially interpreted to require all public transit systems to become equally accessible to disabled people or risk losing Federal funding. The MTA resisted this interpretation, arguing that making the required improvements would cost more than $1.5 billion. MTA Chairman Harold Fisher argued in favor of a separate transportation system for disabled people since it would be too expensive to make the regular system accessible.<ref name="Maitland 1979">{{Cite news |last=Maitland |first=Leslie |date=October 1, 1979 |title=Suit Asserts M.T.A.

In September 1979, the Eastern [[Paralysis|Paralyzed]] Veterans Association (EPVA) filed a lawsuit in the [[New York Supreme Court]] that sought to block subway modernization projects from proceeding unless elevators were installed in stations, as per a state law that required that access for disabled riders be provided. This was the first lawsuit in [[New York (state)|New York]] challenging a state agency for not being in compliance with the Public Buildings Law, and the first lawsuit to argue state laws required public transit systems to add wheelchair lifts on buses and elevators in train and subway stations. The lawsuit also charged that the MTA was in defiance of [[New York Human Rights Law|New York's Human Rights Law]], which outlaws discrimination, for denying people with disabilities from using public transit facilities. The EPVA decided to go ahead with the lawsuit despite the existence of the Federal regulations because it feared a lawsuit by the [[American Public Transportation Association]] (APTA), which sought to overturn the rules as being financially burdensome, might be successful.<ref name="Maitland 1979" />

In 1981, the [[Presidency of Ronald Reagan|Reagan administration]] reinterpreted Section 504, requiring that transit agencies demonstrate that they were making their best efforts to provide adequate transportation for people in wheelchairs. As a result, the MTA agreed to purchase more than 2,000 buses with wheelchair lifts, which would make 50% of its bus fleet accessible.<ref name="Goldman 1983" /> In 1983, less than a third of the system's 3,600 buses were equipped with these lifts.<ref name="Sims 1991" />

In December 1982, the New York State Supreme Court ruled in favor of the EPVA, and on January 4, 1983, the Court judge officially signed an order that barred 10 station renovation projects in the MTA's first Capital Program from proceeding until an agreement was reached regarding accessibility in the [[New York City]] transit system, which the MTA appealed. The judge based the ruling on a state law that required wheelchair access to projects that were renovated using state funds. The MTA had argued that it had already provide a transportation option for people with disabilities by ordering buses with wheelchair lifts, and that the state law in question, the public buildings law, did not apply to subway stations, and that the planned projects were repairs, not renovations.<ref name="Goldman 1983">{{Cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1983/01/05/nyregion/subway-projects-barred-on-access-for-the-disabled.html |title=Subway Projects Barred on Access for the Disabled |last=Goldman |first=Ari L. |date=January 5, 1983 |work=The New York Times |access-date=February 11, 2018 |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331 |archive-date=January 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110100355/https://www.nytimes.com/1983/01/05/nyregion/subway-projects-barred-on-access-for-the-disabled.html |url-status=live}}</ref>

Work at ten station renovation projects underway were placed on hold, and work at 78 others were shelved by the MTA, which feared that work would again be halted by the courts. Following the decision, the MTA asked the [[New York State Legislature]] to exempt the agency from the law requiring transportation be accessible to people with disabilities. MTA Chairman [[Richard Ravitch]] said that "the costs of station accessibility are enormous and the benefits illusory", arguing that few people would use the elevators, and noting that it would cost $1 million to make each station accessible, and the high cost of maintenance and security requirements. The MTA had offered the EPVA to set up an on-request paratransit service, which the group rejected, while the EPVA offered to make 27 key stations accessible, including {{stn|Fordham Road||IRT Jerome Avenue Line}}, {{stn|Forest Hills–71st Avenue}}, [[Atlantic Avenue–Barclays Center station|Atlantic Avenue]], {{stn|Times Square–42nd Street}}, and {{stn|125th Street||IRT Lexington Avenue Line}}, which was rejected by the MTA.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Goldman |first=Ari L. |date=September 15, 1983 |title=Issue and Debate; Wheelchairs in City's Subways and the Cost of Redoing Stations |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1983/09/15/nyregion/issue-and-debate-wheelchairs-in-city-s-subways-and-the-cost-of-redoing-stations.html |access-date=September 16, 2020 |issn=0362-4331 |archive-date=January 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110100335/https://www.nytimes.com/1983/09/15/nyregion/issue-and-debate-wheelchairs-in-city-s-subways-and-the-cost-of-redoing-stations.html |url-status=live}}</ref>

In December 1983, [[State Senate]] Minority Leader [[Manfred Ohrenstein]] proposed legislation that would make 27 key stations accessible and provide funding for a [[paratransit]] service, allowing renovations at the 88 stations to commence. Following the announcement, the MTA entertained installing elevators at a limited number of stations being renovated for the first time. Senator Ohrenstein estimated that it would cost $25 to 35 million to make the 27 stations accessible, and cost $55 million per year for the paratransit service. $30 million of the cost for paratransit service would be borne by Transit Authority revenues, $7 million would come from fares, and the remainder would come from third party payments like [[Medicare (United States)|Medicare]] and [[Medicaid]]. The proposed legislation listed ten stations in [[Manhattan]], four in [[The Bronx]], seven in [[Brooklyn]], and six in [[Queens]]. The bill also would have required half of buses to be equipped with wheelchair lifts, and created a 15-member Handicapped Transportation Board to oversee the paratransit system.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Gargan |first=Edward A. |date=December 23, 1983 |title=Bill Would Renovate 27 Subway Stations for Use by Disabled |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1983/12/23/nyregion/bill-would-renovate-27-subway-stations-for-use-by-disabled.html |access-date=September 16, 2020 |issn=0362-4331 |archive-date=January 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110100356/https://www.nytimes.com/1983/12/23/nyregion/bill-would-renovate-27-subway-stations-for-use-by-disabled.html |url-status=live}}</ref>

In March 1984, the MTA, the office of Governor [[Mario Cuomo]], and advocates for disabled people began working on an agreement to permit the agency to begin work on it subway station modernization program. On June 21, 1984, Mayor [[Ed Koch]] blocked an agreement that had been reached in principle to resolve the impasse.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Gargan |first=Edward A. |date=June 11, 1984 |title=Accord Is Near on Providing Subway Access to Disabled |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1984/06/11/nyregion/accord-is-near-on-providing-subway-access-to-disabled.html |access-date=September 16, 2020 |issn=0362-4331 |archive-date=January 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110100412/https://www.nytimes.com/1984/06/11/nyregion/accord-is-near-on-providing-subway-access-to-disabled.html |url-status=live}}</ref> The agreement would have required the MTA to spend $5 million a year over eight years to make about 40 stations accessible and equipped every bus on the system with wheelchair lifts within fifteen years. He opposed making stations accessible, writing, "I have concluded that it is simply wrong to spend $50 million in the next eight years—and ultimately more—in putting elevators in the subways."<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1984/06/22/nyregion/koch-blocks-accord-on-subway-access-for-disabled-people.html |title=Koch Blocks Accord on Subway Access for Disabled People |date=June 22, 1984 |work=The New York Times |access-date=February 11, 2018 |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331 |archive-date=January 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110100336/https://www.nytimes.com/1984/06/22/nyregion/koch-blocks-accord-on-subway-access-for-disabled-people.html |url-status=live}}</ref>

In June 1984, Governor Cuomo and the leaders of the State Assembly and State Senate reached a settlement agreement in spite of Mayor Koch's objections. The agreement amended the [[New York State Transportation Department|New York State Transportation]] and Building Laws to require the MTA to install elevators in 54 stations, of which 38 were designated in the legislation, while eight were to be chosen by the MTA, with the remaining eight to be chosen by a new 11-member New York City Transportation Disabled Committee. The MTA would be required to spend $5 million a year over eight years to make station accessible and to equip 65 percent of buses wheelchair lifts. At least eight stations had to become accessible within five years of when the legislation took effect. The New York City Transportation Disabled Committee would develop a plan for a pilot paratransit service within 210 days. The service would have a $5 million annual budget.<ref name="Gargan 1984">{{cite news |last=Gargan |first=Edward A. |title=New Accord Reached To Provide Subway Access For The Disabled |work=The New York Times |date=June 29, 1984 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1984/06/29/nyregion/new-accord-reached-to-provide-subway-access-for-the-disabled.html |access-date=February 11, 2018 |archive-date=January 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110100404/https://www.nytimes.com/1984/06/29/nyregion/new-accord-reached-to-provide-subway-access-for-the-disabled.html |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="OSCAudit">{{cite web |title=Rapid Transit Services For Persons With Disabilities 2001-S-69 |url=https://web.osc.state.ny.us/audits/allaudits/093004/01s69.pdf |website=osc.state.ny.us |publisher=Office of the New York State Comptroller |access-date=September 16, 2020 |date=January 8, 2004 |archive-date=January 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110100335/https://web.osc.state.ny.us/audits/allaudits/093004/01s69.pdf |url-status=live}}</ref>{{rp|1–2}} The legislation was signed into law by Governor Cuomo on July 23, 1984, and the MTA Board approved a resolution in agreement with the legislation on July 25, 1984.

As late as 1988, prior to the opening of the [[Archer Avenue lines]], there were still only four wheelchair-accessible stations in the subway system. Three of them were ground-level stations at [[Canarsie–Rockaway Parkway station|Canarsie–Rockaway Parkway]], [[Middle Village–Metropolitan Avenue station|Middle Village–Metropolitan Avenue]], and [[Rockaway Park–Beach 116th Street station|Rockaway Park–Beach 116th Street]]; the other was the [[World Trade Center station (IND Eighth Avenue Line)|World Trade Center station]] in Lower Manhattan.<ref name="p277901999">{{cite news |last=Liff |first=Bob |date=April 21, 1988 |title=TA Probes Fatal Subway Dragging |page=19 |work=Newsday |issn=2574-5298 |id={{ProQuest|277901999}}}}</ref>

A provision of the legislation required all transit agencies to submit a key station plan to the FTA by July 26, 1992. As part of the plan, agencies were required to include the methodology they used to select key stations and a timeline for the completion of the accessibility improvements. Though stations were required to be made accessible by July 1993, transit agencies were granted permission to extend the deadline by as many as thirty years. As part of New York City Transit's key station plan, 54 stations were to be made ADA-accessible by 2010.<ref name="OSCAudit"/>{{rp|2}}

Between 1986 and 1991, the number of disabled people using buses in New York City increased from 11,000 rides a year to 120,000. In 1991, ninety percent of buses were equipped with wheelchair lifts and ten of the 54 key stations were made wheelchair-accessible; at the time, 20 of 469 subway stations had ramps or elevators.<ref name="Sims 1991"/> The New York City Transit Authority had also made efforts to improve training for its employees and bus operators to on how to assist people with disabilities and on how to operate wheelchair lifts. At least one train car in each subway train had to be accessible by 1993, and major subway stations were supposed to be retrofitted with elevators or ramps by 1995.<ref name="Sims 1991">{{cite news |last=Sims |first=Calvin |date=July 19, 1991 |title=Handicapped Find Transit More Accessible |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/07/19/nyregion/handicapped-find-transit-more-accessible.html |access-date=February 11, 2018 |work=The New York Times |issn=0362-4331 |archive-date=February 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180213195122/http://www.nytimes.com/1991/07/19/nyregion/handicapped-find-transit-more-accessible.html |url-status=live}}</ref>

The MTA created the New York City Transit ADA Compliance Coordination Committee (CCC) in June 1992. The committee works to coordinate the MTA's accessibility plan, as well as reaches out to disabled MTA riders.<ref name="MTA-TB-Committee-Feb2020"/>{{rp|253}} The MTA also provides training to disabled riders, the families of disabled riders, and mobility specialists.

In 1994, amendments were made to the New York State Transportation and Public Building Laws, increasing the key station obligation from 54 stations to a list of 100 stations to be completed by 2020. Of the 100 new stations, 91 were specified immediately, including 37 additional stations that were chosen in accordance with FTA and MTA criteria and discussions at five public forums. The remaining nine stations were to be selected following discussions with the Transportation Disabled Committee and public advocates.<ref name="OSCAudit"/>{{rp|2}} However, this revision also stipulated that the subway and Staten Island Railway were exempt from making accessibility modifications that were, by law, required for other public buildings.<ref name="MTA-TB-Committee-Feb2020">{{Cite web |url=https://new.mta.info/document/14666 |title=Transit and Bus Committee Meeting February 2019 |date=February 25, 2020 |publisher=[[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]] |access-date=March 12, 2020 |archive-date=January 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110100407/https://new.mta.info/document/14666 |url-status=live}}</ref>{{Rp|261}} 

Shortly after this modification, [[66th Street–Lincoln Center (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line)|66th Street–Lincoln Center]] ({{NYCS trains|Broadway-Seventh local day}}) and [[Prospect Park (BMT Brighton Line)|Prospect Park–Brighton]] ({{NYCS trains|Prospect Park}}) were added to the list of 91 stations. There were also three options for modifying the list of 91 stations. They included adding [[Broadway–Lafayette Street (IND Sixth Avenue Line)|Broadway–Lafayette Street]] ({{NYCS trains|Sixth}}) and [[Bleecker Street (IRT Lexington Avenue Line)|Bleecker Street]] ({{NYCS trains|Lexington local day}}); replacing [[Broad Street (BMT Nassau Street Line)|Broad Street]] with [[Chambers Street (BMT Nassau Street Line)|Chambers Street]] (both served by the {{NYCS trains|Nassau south}}) and [[Church Avenue (BMT Brighton Line)|Church Avenue]] with [[Kings Highway (BMT Brighton Line)|Kings Highway]] (both served by the {{NYCS trains|Brighton}}); or modifying dates for several key stations. The public supported all of these options.<ref name="MTA-TB-Committee-Feb2020"/>{{rp|247}}

In February 1994, the MTA Board approved the submission of the bill to the Governor to expand the key station obligation from the 54 stations in the plan at the time and 37 additional stations to be completed through 2020. In May 1994, the Board approved the addition of contracts to make seven of the 37 stations accessible during station renovation projects between 1994 and 1996 to the 1992–1996 Capital Program. These stations were [[14th Street (IND Eighth Avenue Line station)|14th Street]], [[Eighth Avenue (BMT Canarsie Line station)|Eighth Avenue]], [[Inwood–207th Street (IND Eighth Avenue Line)|207th Street]], [[Church Avenue (IRT Nostrand Avenue Line)|Church Avenue]], [[72nd Street (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line)|72nd Street]], [[Lexington Avenue–53rd Street (IND Queens Boulevard Line)|Lexington Avenue]] and [[47th–50th Streets–Rockefeller Center (IND Sixth Avenue Line)|47th–50th Streets–Rockefeller Center]]. The first two were set to be awarded in 1994, the next two in 1995, and the final three in 1996. The contracts were added on the assumption that the bill would be signed so as to not delay the projects and to avoid having to return to the stations after their renovation projects were completed to add elevators. These projects required $60.9 million.<ref name="New York City Transit 1994" />{{Rp|F.1–F.10}}

The [[Federal Transit Administration]] approved the list of 95 key stations in June 2000. [[Far Rockaway–Mott Avenue (IND Rockaway Line)|Far Rockaway–Mott Avenue]] ({{NYCS trains|Rockaway}}) and [[East 180th Street (IRT White Plains Road Line)|East 180th Street]] ({{NYCS trains|East 180th}}) were added to the 100-station list in 2000 and 2002, respectively. Subsequently, a new [[South Ferry (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line)|South Ferry]] station ({{NYCS trains|Broadway-Seventh South Ferry}}) and the existing [[Eastern Parkway–Brooklyn Museum (IRT Eastern Parkway Line)|Eastern Parkway–Brooklyn Museum]] station ({{NYCS trains|Eastern center local weekday}}) were respectively selected in 2003 and 2004.

The MTA started posting a list of out of service elevators and escalators on its website in August 2007. In December 2007, the MTA Board voted on a $1.3 million contract to connect the system's elevators and escalators to a computerized monitoring system so breakdowns could be dealt with more quickly.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Neuman |first=William |date=December 17, 2007 |title=M.T.A.

In October 2010, the United Spinal Association filed a class action lawsuit against the MTA for not making the [[Dyckman Street station (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line)|Dyckman Street]] station accessible as part of a station renovation project, arguing that the agency violated the ADA by not allocating twenty percent of the project budget to improving access to disabled people.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Zanoni |first=Carla |date=October 13, 2010 |title=Disability Advocate Sues MTA for Failing to Put Elevators at Dyckman St. Station |work=DNAInfo |url=https://www.dnainfo.com/20101013/washington-heights-inwood/disability-advocate-sues-mta-for-failure-put-elevators-at-dyckman-st-station/ |url-status=dead |access-date=January 15, 2021 |archive-date=December 22, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111222073941/http://www.dnainfo.com/20101013/washington-heights-inwood/disability-advocate-sues-mta-for-failure-put-elevators-at-dyckman-st-station}}</ref> The MTA had not planned to make the station accessible due to a lack of funds, and as it was not identified by the agency as a key station.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Zanoni |first=Carla |date=July 12, 2010 |title=$45 Million Dyckman Street Subway Stop Repair Won't Bring Disability Access |work=DNAInfo |url=https://www.dnainfo.com/20100712/washington-heights-inwood/45-million-renovation-of-dyckman-street-station-wont-be-accessible-disabled/ |url-status=dead |access-date=January 15, 2021 |archive-date=April 5, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120405050847/http://www.dnainfo.com/20100712/washington-heights-inwood/45-million-renovation-of-dyckman-street-station-wont-be-accessible-disabled}}</ref> In July 2010, the United Spinal Association announced that it had reached a settlement with the MTA to install an elevator to the southbound platform of the station by 2014.

As part of the 2015–2019 Capital Program, $300 million was allocated to enhance station access and provide ADA-accessibility at fifteen stations chosen by the city.

The MTA hired Stantec in February 2018 to determine the feasibility and cost of making all subway stations ADA-accessible. The study Stantec completed was used to determine which stations would be made accessible the agency's 2020–2024 Capital Program. It found that it would be impossible to make the southbound platform at the [[14th Street–Union Square station]] on the [[IRT Lexington Avenue Line]] accessible due to the station's curvature. In addition, making the [[Court Street station (BMT Fourth Avenue Line)|Court Street station]] was not found to be feasible due to the significant amount of conduits that would have to be rerouted.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Martinez |first=Jose |date=February 20, 2020 |title=MTA Could Make Many More NYC Subway Stations Accessible, Study Finds |url=https://www.thecity.nyc/transportation/2020/2/20/21210518/mta-could-make-many-more-subway-stations-accessible-study-finds |access-date=January 15, 2021 |work=THE CITY |language=en}}</ref>

In December 2020, the MTA Board voted to approve a $149 million contract to install seventeen elevators to make seven subway stations and one Staten Island Railway station accessible, and a fifteen-year $8 million contract for elevator maintenance. The MTA used Federal grant money for the [[Penn Station Access]] project that would have otherwise expired. The initial cost to make these eight stations accessible was $581 million. The cost of the project was reduced by planning to make the stations accessible without constructing machine rooms, which require additional excavation and underground utility relocation.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Martinez |first=Jose |date=December 15, 2020 |title=Some NYC Subway Stations Getting Elevators While Others Get the Shaft Amid Budget Crunch |url=https://www.thecity.nyc/2020/12/15/22177397/nyc-subway-stations-getting-elevators-amid-pandemic-budget |access-date=January 15, 2021 |work=THE CITY |language=en |archive-date=January 16, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210116121719/https://www.thecity.nyc/2020/12/15/22177397/nyc-subway-stations-getting-elevators-amid-pandemic-budget |url-status=live}}</ref> In January 2022, the MTA added a project to make [[Massapequa Park station]] on the LIRR ADA-accessible to the 2020–2024 Capital Program.<ref name="MassapequaPark"/>

In early 2021, the MTA announced it was proposing a [[zoning]] law, Zoning for Accessibility (ZFA), which would increase the number of subway elevators by placing many of them on private property. Under the proposed legislation, developers of lots adjacent to subway stations would meet with the MTA to determine whether an elevator entrance could be constructed.

====Inaccessibility of corridors and major stations====
Many transfer stations, such as Broadway Junction on the {{NYCS trains|Broadway Junction}}; [[Delancey Street/Essex Street (New York City Subway)|Delancey Street/Essex Street]] on the {{NYCS trains|Delancey-Essex}}; and [[14th Street/Sixth Avenue (New York City Subway)|14th Street/Sixth Avenue]] on the {{NYCS trains|14th Sixth}} are not wheelchair-accessible, making it harder to travel between different parts of the city.

| '''{{abbr|Overall system|when subway and rail stations that share a common infrastructure are counted as a whole}}'''{{efn|When conforming to [[list of metro systems|international standards]], there are six commuter rail stations that have a direct connection to subway services (i.e., a connection could be made without exiting the structure, or traveling along the street). This count was conducted by condensing all subway and rail stations with direct connecting infrastructure as one complex. This excludes stations that are close in proximity, but have no share mezzanine or connecting passageway (E.g. The [[Flushing–Main Street (IRT Flushing Line)|subway]] and [[Flushing–Main Street (LIRR station)|rail]] stations along [[Main Street (Queens)|Main Street]] in [[Flushing, Queens]] requires a walk on street level, and has no connecting infrastructure or passageway between the separate stations, and thus does not count as a connecting complex).

{{As of|2018|9}}, 185 out of the 248 stations ({{pct|185|248|0}}) in the entire MTA commuter rail system are accessible by wheelchair. Many of them are ground or grade-level stations, thus requiring little modification to accessibility. A few stations, including the entire Babylon Branch, are [[elevated railway|elevated]] or on [[Embankment (earthworks)|embankments]], but some have been renovated or retrofitted with elevators to meet ADA standards. {{pct|105|184|0}} of the accessible stations in the MTA's railroad system are Long Island Rail Road stations.<ref name="ADAStations"/> 

During the late 1990s, the LIRR began converting much of its low-floor, at-grade stations into high-floor platforms. Rather than renovate to meet ADA standards, ten low-floor stations, including the surviving five on the [[Montauk Branch|Lower Montauk Branch]] were closed in March 1998, due to low patronage, and incompatibility with then-new [[C3 (railcar)|C3]] bi-level coach cars that can only use high platforms.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1998/03/15/nyregion/end-of-the-line-for-lirr-s-10-loneliest-stops.html |title=End of the Line for L.I.R.R.'s 10 Loneliest Stops |last=Sengupta |first=Somini |date=March 15, 1998 |work=The New York Times |issn=0362-4331 |access-date=May 13, 2016 |archive-date=January 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110100444/https://www.nytimes.com/1998/03/15/nyregion/end-of-the-line-for-lirr-s-10-loneliest-stops.html |url-status=live}}</ref> Five of the LIRR's branches are entirely accessible from east of Jamaica: the [[Long Beach Branch]], Montauk Branch, [[Oyster Bay Branch]], [[Port Jefferson Branch]], and [[Ronkonkoma Branch]].

Many retired fleet are high-level buses, and many of the fleet built before 1990 do not comply with ADA standards. The federal government started requiring that half of all MTA buses be accessible in 1981. However, the wheelchair lifts on the earliest wheelchair-accessible buses were unreliable.<ref>{{cite web |last=Goldman |first=Ari L. |title=BUS WHEELCHAIR LIFTS SAID TO FAIL OFTEN |work=The New York Times |date=July 26, 1982 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1982/07/26/nyregion/bus-wheelchair-lifts-said-to-fail-often.html |access-date=February 11, 2018 |archive-date=January 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110100439/https://www.nytimes.com/1982/07/26/nyregion/bus-wheelchair-lifts-said-to-fail-often.html |url-status=live}}</ref> By 1983, less than a third of the 3,600-vehicle MTA fleet were accessible, and it was impossible to tell which routes had accessible buses because they were dispatched randomly. Drivers sometimes refused to pick up disabled passengers, or they did not carry keys for lift-equipped buses, or the lifts were operated improperly.<ref name="Lee 2008">{{cite web |last=Lee |first=Jennifer 8. |title=Vintage Buses Evoke Wheelchair-Unfriendly Era |website=City Room |date=December 2, 2008 |url=http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/02/vintage-buses-evoke-wheelchair-unfriendly-era/ |access-date=February 11, 2018 |archive-date=January 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110100607/https://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/02/vintage-buses-evoke-wheelchair-unfriendly-era/ |url-status=live}}</ref> As part of a disability-lawsuit agreement in June 1984, Governor Mario Cuomo agreed to equip 65% of MTA buses with wheelchair lifts.<ref name="Gargan 1984"/>

The number of disabled riders on MTA buses rose eleven-fold between 1986 and 1991. By 1991, a year after the ADA law was passed, the bus system saw 120,000 disabled passengers per year. Ninety percent of the fleet was wheelchair-accessible, compared to other cities' transit systems, which had much lower percentages of accessible buses in their fleets.<ref name="Sims 1991"/> The last non-accessible vehicle in the MTA New York City Bus fleet, excluding routes that later became part of the MTA Bus Company, was retired in 1993.<ref name="Lee 2008"/><ref>{{Cite press release |title=MTA {{!}} NYC Transit {{!}} MTA New York City Transit to Run Special Vintage Buses in December|url=https://newqa.mta.info/press-release/nyc-transit/mta-new-york-city-transit-run-special-vintage-buses-december|access-date=March 7, 2021|website=newqa.mta.info|archive-date=October 29, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211029211348/https://newqa.mta.info/press-release/nyc-transit/mta-new-york-city-transit-run-special-vintage-buses-december|url-status=live}}</ref>

The paratransit system began as a $5 million pilot program following the passage of the ADA law.<ref name="Sims 1991"/> The services are contracted to private companies.<ref name="McFadden 1998"/> In 1993, because many disabled riders were being refused service in violation of the ADA, the MTA announced an expansion of the program. The service was carrying 300,000 yearly riders back then.<ref>{{cite web |last=Levy |first=Clifford J. |title=M.T.A.

At the time, despite having 1 million annual customers the program only had 300 vehicles and Access-A-Ride journeys often took several hours, while only twenty-six subway stations were ADA-accessible.<ref name="McFadden 1998">{{cite web |last=McFadden |first=Robert D. |title=Better Transportation Planned for Disabled |website=The New York Times |date=November 23, 1998 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1998/11/23/nyregion/better-transportation-planned-for-disabled.html |access-date=March 8, 2018 |archive-date=January 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110100448/https://www.nytimes.com/1998/11/23/nyregion/better-transportation-planned-for-disabled.html |url-status=live}}</ref>
