Join the MTA and the New York Transit Museum for a special Disability Pride Month conversation on how accessibility is shaping the future of transit. Hear directly from the leaders driving change — including MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber, Chief Accessibility Officer Quemuel Arroyo, and Vice President of Access-A-Ride, Rachel Cohen — as they discuss new accessible stations, digital tools, elevators, and improvements across the system. From real-time elevator updates to Reduced-Fare OMNY and redesigned stations, this panel explores how the MTA is making transit work better for every rider.

We want to hear from you! Email [email protected] to submit questions for the panel ahead of time.
