A coalition of transit advocacy groups embarked on a citywide subway accessibility day of action, dubbed “One Day, Five Boroughs, 23 Stations,” on Sunday to talk to subway riders about the impact Gov. Kathy Hochul’s decision to indefinitely pause congestion pricing has on accessibility upgrades.
Because the governor stopped the Manhattan toll plan at the last minute on June 5, the MTA is facing a $15 billion shortfall for its 2020-2024 capital plan, which included the installation of elevators at 23 subway stations, among other improvements.
