The MTA is seeking input on which stations to prioritize for accessibility improvements over the next five years. The proposed 2025-2029 Capital Plan identified an initial 30 stations, and the MTA plans to make at least an additional 30 stations accessible, for a total of more than 60 stations. With these investments, approximately 70% of all subway rides will take place to or from accessible stations.
Here are a few maps and resources that show stations that are accessible or already prioritized for accessibility.

Accessibility and the Capital Plan
Every five years as required by law, the MTA outlines investments across the system in its capital plan. The proposed 2025-2029 Capital Plan, which is pending state approval and funding this year, is dedicated to rebuilding and improving the existing system to make sure New Yorkers continue to have access to reliable, accessible, and sustainable transit.
The MTA evaluates the following criteria when considering stations: geographic coverage, community destinations, ridership, demographics, transfers, and lastly constructability/cost. A more detailed explanation of these criteria is available. With this next plan, the MTA is focused on prioritizing stations in segments with three or four consecutive inaccessible stations.
