Join the NYU Rudin Center and NYU C2SMARTER for the release of our report, "Building an Accessible Transit System," addressing the pressing need to enhance accessibility in New York's public transportation system. 

By analyzing challenges, identifying gaps, and exploring opportunities, this report aims to be a vital resource for policymakers, planners, and advocates dedicated to fostering a more inclusive and accommodating public transportation system.

The presentation will be followed by a conversation with transportation accessibility leaders:

  • Quemuel Arroyo, Chief Accessibility Officer, Metropolitan Transportation Authority
  • Carmen de la Rosa, Representative, District 10, New York City Council
  • John Ross Rizzo, MD, Heath System Director, Disability Inclusion, NYU Langone Health, and Board Member, MTA

This event is supported by NYU C2SMARTER. The study was conducted with additional support from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
