I wasn’t happy with what the MTA and Google provided so I made my own interactive map of NYC subway elevators. Let me know what you think. #accessibility #a11y #transit #mta #newyork

Dear @MTA ,

Tonight, it is completely impossible to go uptown in this entire stretch of Manhattan.

Elevators out:

- 96 uptown 1/2/3
- 125 uptown A/C/B/D
- 135 uptown 1/2/3

IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

Dear @MTA, you currently have 52 out of 397 elevators out of service. 2:12am ET, 7.7.25

IMAGE DESCRIPTION: a map of elevators in NYC, showing real-time status via blue checkmarks, yellow warning signs, and red exclamation marks.

This one’s exciting! I’m in my transit era. 🚃 I’m working to make public transit navigable for disabled people. Check out my Indiegogo, LIVE NOW: https://t.co/KpKOnX4oNh

“I ran half of a marathon,” very different from “I ran a half-marathon”

@kvogt This is an important thing to include in your fleet. However, I’m skeptical that the proposed locking systems (bracket and hook) will be practical for many disabled people. You could also put this capital towards increased bus and metro frequencies in San Francisco.

@hfyi53ko @kvogt @Cruise It’s low

@MetroLAelevator La Cienega/Jefferson*

[Joel Chapman @iamjoelchapman]

@MetroLAelevator Is this a longer term outage? When I arrived to La Cienega four days ago it was also out of service. Wondering if I can use it right now

[Joel Chapman @iamjoelchapman]

LA such a car city that I tried walking on the sidewalk and hit a cobweb

[Joel Chapman @iamjoelchapman]

Of all the things you can say to your seat mates upon boarding a crowded flight, “I’m sorry I’m late” is quite possibly the most polite.
