Key Stations

In 1983, a New York senator introduced a law to make 27 key subway stations accessible. EPVA’s lawsuit resulted in an agreement for 54 key stations the next year. The ADA defined key stations as transfer points, end stations, and high ridership stations, and required cities to create key station plans. After the ADA passed, lawmakers increased the MTA’s number of key stations to 100, but that only represented about 20% of stations.
