MTA officials unveiled a new elevator at Penn Station today, pledging that it will improve access to and from the Long Island Rail Road. Three existing elevators at the station serving the 1, 2 and 3 trains have also been replaced.
as part of a settlement from two class-action lawsuits brought by people with disabilities and advocacy groups.
Jean Ryan, one of the plaintiffs and president of the group Disabled in Action, said that any new elevators were a positive — though they would only benefit a fraction of people who needed access.
