In celebration of the 35 years since the passage of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), MTA Leadership and the New York Transit Museum discuss the newest accessibility enhancements in the city’s transit system and the strides made to advance accessibility for all. Join us to learn about the history of MTA accessibility, as well as key initiatives such as street-to-platform elevators, modern accessible fare gates, and enhanced digital communication tools.
Moderated by Amy Boyle, Assistant Deputy Director, Education and Public Programs of the New York Transit Museum, this panel discussion includes Quemuel Arroyo, Chief Accessibility Officer and Senior Advisor to the Chairman; Shanifah Rieara, Chief Customer Officer and Senior Advisor to the Chairman; and Steven Loehr, Deputy Chief Development Officer.
