"Public-private partnerships are quickly becoming one of our best tools. The latest example is our new public-private partnership with Columbia University, which will deliver three new elevators and a ton of other upgrades at the 125 St 1 station."
"There's now one unified plan to deliver improvements more efficiently and at lower cost than if they were treated as two separate projects. This is how you deliver better, faster, and cheaper."
"This month, we opened a new elevator at the already-accessible 59 St-Columbus Circle station that was not only paid for but built by the developer Global Holdings."
"Since 2020, C&D has made 57 stations accessible across the MTA system—more in the last five years than in the previous 10 combined."
The MTA is prioritizing accessibility for nearly 1 million New Yorkers with disabilities through public-private partnerships. A recent collaboration with Columbia University will add three elevators and upgrades at the 125 St 1 station, with Columbia contributing $33 million. This unified approach allows for more efficient project delivery. The MTA has also opened a new elevator at the 59 St-Columbus Circle station, built by Global Holdings. Additionally, MTA Construction & Development has made 57 stations accessible since 2020, surpassing previous efforts in the last decade.
