How Would You Tweak Your Commute for Your Accessibility Needs

WNYC News | Nov 21, 2019

WNYC's Shumita Basu shares the latest from the "We The Commuters" survey on accessibility, which asked what single change would make the biggest positive difference in your commute.

Listeners suggest crack-free curb cuts on sidewalks, redesigned subway turnstyles that allow room for riders with strollers or large packages to roll through, having clean public bathrooms in stations for people with chronic issues, captions for all aural announcements, and street level signs about train performance so that people don't have to go up or down a flight of stairs only to learn the D train isn't running.
