Federal and state judges recently gave final approval of a settlement to two class action lawsuits that alleged the MTA and NYCTA discriminated against people with mobility disabilities.
The biggest win, advocates said, was the fact that the MTA is now "required" to make sure 95% of stations have elevators by the year 2055. While that is more than 30 years away, Blair-Goldensohn said it’s still a huge victory.
Gov. Phil Murphy says the new congestion plan is one that he cannot accept, citing the financial and environmental burdens it would have on New Jersey commuters. "What it sounds like I'm hearing is you're conceding the MTA has dropped the ball on this," FOX 5's Chris Welch asked. But Arroyo said today, accessibility is the MTA's number two priority, second only to safety.
