Accessible travel
Plan a more accessible NYC subway trip.
Step-free travel depends on more than a station having an elevator on a map. BoroWay helps riders consider accessible entrances, transfers, direction, live elevator conditions, and backup options before beginning a trip.
An accessible origin is only the start. Confirm the destination, every transfer, and the path between platforms are suitable for the trip.
Elevator availability may change without much notice. Review current official information before leaving and again when practical during the trip.
An accessible entrance may be on a specific corner or lead to only one direction. Look for the correct entrance before crossing the fare line.
A nearby accessible station, bus connection, or alternate route can prevent a single elevator outage from ending the trip.
