Several transit agencies in New York and New Jersey are receiving federal funding for accessibility improvements at rail stations. The funding includes over $200 million for New York City and New Jersey, $156 million for Manhattan and The Bronx, and $67 million for the Green Line in Boston. The investments aim to enhance ADA accessibility, with projects such as elevators, platforms, and other upgrades.
