Q: My local station was supposed to get an elevator as part of the current MTA Capital Program. Will that still happen now that congestion pricing has been paused? What about accessibility efforts overall?Fortunately, delays to congestion pricing will not affect elevator construction at the Parkchester 6 line station. This project is part of a larger bundle of accessibility upgrades that was awarded in late 2022 and is fully funded in the current Capital Plan.
Under the current Capital Program, we have been awarding stations at nearly five times the pace of previous capital plans. We are hopeful to be able to continue advancing accessibility projects at this unprecedented rate.With experts predicting an above-normal hurricane season this year, we’re especially focused on efforts to protect the MTA system from water damage.
