COALITION OF DISABILITY ADVOCATES, TRANSPORTATION ORGANIZATIONS & ELECTED OFFICIALS KICK OFF 2018 "RIDERS RESPOND TRANSIT TOUR" TO ASSESS SUBWAY DIRECTLY FROM RIDERS

Elected officials, disability and transportation advocates at a kickoff press conference prior to boarding the subway at the Van Cortlandt Park/242^nd St. Station on Wednesday, October 3 at 7:00 AM, outside the station at the corner of 242^nd St. and Broadway. 

 

The station at Van Cortlandt Park/West 242nd Street has been plagued by the ongoing issue of offering no options of  accessibility for people living with disabilities, in the midst of the MTA upgrading and renovating subway stations.
