Guide to Accessible Stations

COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO ACCESSIBLE* STATIONS

List of wheelchair-accessible stations and services of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority network online

As the MTA is often not expeditious in posting newly accessible subway stations on their website and new subway maps only come out three times a year, we have decided to update our membership with a comprehensive listing of ALL accessible stations, including ones that have not yet made it onto the website and/or Subway map. We will continue post such updates as new accessible stations come online so long as we are able to confirm that they have been certified as ADA Accessible by the NYC Transit Office of ADA Compliance.

Additionally, this listing provides detailed notes based on the experiences of disabled riders, which may be of extreme benefit, particularly to a rider visiting a station with which they are unfamiliar.  If you have any firsthand experiences that you would like to contribute, please contact us.

*- All stations have been certified by the MTA as ADA Accessible, unless otherwise indicated.

THIS LIST IS CURRENTLY BEING UPDATED TO REFLECT RECENT CHANGES AND MAY NOT BE 100% ACCURATE

 SymbolE Line Symbol service.  While persons with disabilities, including those who use wheelchairs can also access the 8th Avenue Line via ramp from the LIRR Concourse (which leads to turnstiles and an elevator), such ramp is not ADA compliant as it is "slightly too long without a flat area in the middle" (Source: NYC Transit Office of ADA Compliance).  This entrance may be preferable to many riders, particularly during inclement weather, however the Disabled Riders Coalition cautions riders that there is no AutoGate and that the token booth adjacent to that entrance is not open 24/7 (6:15am - 10pm).  Booth is scheduled for closing at the end of August, station agents will be "roaming" in the area around the entrance..

Note : You must be in the conductor's car to access the 4 Subway Line Symbol5 Subway Line Symbol platform at Atlantic Avenue, so please insure that you board the conductor’s car at the start of your trip. Further, because of the limited clearance for wheelchairs on the 4 Subway Line Symbol5 Subway Line Symbol platform, you must follow these specific instructions for disembarking the train at Atlantic Avenue:

If you are on a Manhattan-bound 4 Subway Line Symbol5 Subway Line Symbol: You must be in the fifth car. Position yourself at the middle set of doors in the fifth car. The conductor is in the sixth car.

If you are on a Brooklyn-bound 4 Subway Line Symbol5 Subway Line Symbol: You must be in the conductor’s car, which is the sixth car. Position yourself at either the second or third set of doors furthest away from the conductor’s cab.

The Disabled Riders Coalition STRONGLY CAUTIONS riders using wheelchairs or scooters about the platform discussed above. As there are only 24 inches between the staircase and the K Posts (support posts found on subway platforms) getting off in the wrong car will make it IMPOSSIBLE to reach the elevator. (The ADA requires a minimum of 32 inches). If you are unsure as to whether or not you are in the correct car we STRONGLY ADVISE that you to take the following actions:

If you are on a Manhattan-bound train get off at Franklin Avenue and transfer across the platform to the 2 Line Symbol3 Line Symbol train.  The fourth stop will be Atlantic Avenue (Eastern Parkway - Brooklyn Museum, Grand Army Plaza and Bergen Street are in between Franklin Avenue and Atlantic Avenue)

If you are on a Brooklyn-bound train get off at Nevins Street snd Transfer across the platform to the 2 Line Symbol3 Line Symbol train.  The second stop will be Atlantic Avenue (Hoyt Street is the only stop between Nevins Street and Atlantic Avenue).

Staten Island Ferry

Both the Whitehall - South Ferry Terminal (Manhattan) and the ST. George Terminal (Staten Island) were recently renovated and are in full compliance with Americans with Disability Act Accessibility Guidelines.  However as some of the boats in use pre-date the ADA certain aspects of them may not be fully compliant with the ADA.  Nonetheless all persons with disabilities should be able to utilize such ferries.  Should you find a gangplank or other aspect of the ferry to be difficult to navigate, please ask a crew member for assistance.  For information about specific boats, please  visit www.siferry.com and select "Ferry Fleet", then "Current Ferries"

Wheelchair users and other people with mobility impairments (and their companions) can and should board on the lower level of the ferry because it is safer during low tides.  To enter on the lower level from the Manhattan side, you go around the right side of the building until you see the guard and board there.  On the Staten Island side, follow the signs for the lower level boarding location.

No fare is charged for use of the Staten Island Ferry.

**- Please note that unlike the other services described on this page, the Staten Island Ferry is operated by the New York City Department of Transportation and NOT by the MTA.
