@ Roadrunner3000 and Kew Gardens 613: Should we move some of the info in the separate sections to form a new "History" section? epicgenius ( talk) 23:55, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
@ Kew Gardens 613: I'm not sure that this is correct. The text currently says, "Five more stations are being evaluated. These stations are the J and Z trains' platforms at Broadway Junction, as well as the Marcy Avenue (J, M, and Z trains), Union Street (R train), Vernon Boulevard–Jackson Avenue (7 and <7> trains), and East Broadway (F train) stations". But Marcy Avenue (BMT Jamaica Line) is already ADA-accessible. Is it Myrtle Avenue (BMT Jamaica Line)? @ Kew Gardens 613: epicgenius ( talk) 01:20, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
@ Epicgenius: We should update the article with the goals set forward in Fast Forward-no station two stations in either direction away from an ADA-accessible stop.-- Kew Gardens 613 ( talk) 01:14, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
This would allow one of every two to four stations on every line to be accessible, so that all non-accessible stops would be a maximum of two stops from an accessible station. epicgenius ( talk) 01:19, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
@ Epicgenius: Several stations have the design stage funded as part of the 2015-2019 program with construction to be funded in 2020-2024, such as Tremont Avenue, 14th Street, Avenue H, 77th Street, Avenue I, Kings Highway, Neptune Avenue, and Broadway Junction for the Canarsie and Jamaica Lines. We should make this clear. The Fulton Street Line station at Broadway Junction is fully funded by the the City as part of the 15-19 program. Thanks.-- Kew Gardens 613 ( talk) 12:17, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
Why is Mets-Willets Point mentioned twice for the same station (LIRR Port Washington Branch,) but with different statuses (in design and in pre-planning)? Is one of those entries meant for the subway station to make it 100% ADA-accessible, or is there really a duplicate entry that needs to be consolidated/removed? 2604:2000:1304:4BDD:7804:ACE:9A7E:C904 ( talk) 18:32, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

<!-- NOTE: cites for this paragraph have been covered about in the table below. No need to tag {{cn}} -->However, should I add the cites there anyway? There would be 40+ citations for this paragraph so I'm just thinking of removing this paragraph. Epicgenius ( talk) 16:27, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
@ Epicgenius: There is a discrepancy between Template:NYCS const and the count in this article for the subway total. The former has 136, with 108 per international standards, while this article has 132 and 109.-- Kew Gardens 613 ( talk) 21:15, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
There is a lot of outdated info, including about the LIRR (Hollis was added, FH will get upgraded ramps, not elevators, there is funding for the design of ADA work at Kew Gardens-see the July 2023 Financial Plan), and the addition of Ditmars Blvd as part of the planned BRT route to LaGuardia. We should see if there are news articles about the issue with commuter rail accessibility-namely that there are often no sidewalks/crosswalks/curb cuts to allow people with mobility impairments to even access the accessible stations. The lead of the article is also way too short. Access-A-Ride should probably get its own article. A criticism section on the cost of making stations accessible. I have some news clippings on the making of buses accessible. Would the MTA's bus stroller pilot belong in this article? We are also missing the Jay Street ADA pilot programs, and the app to help people with bus stops. ( https://new.mta.info/press-release/mta-pilots-smartphone-app-to-help-blind-and-low-vision-bus-riders). Sorry if this is disorganized Kew Gardens 613 ( talk) 12:41, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi all - I've just finished a similar article for London ( Accessibility of transport in London) and wondered if this article should link to it and others like it (accessibility of public transit in Boston and Toronto) in the see also section - to me, that seems more relevant than linking to lists of stations. Any thoughts? Turini2 ( talk) 12:51, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
