S 4116 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Directs the metropolitan transportation authority to study the feasibility and impact of installing sliding access doors on subway platforms

This bill (S 4116) requires New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to study whether installing sliding access doors on subway platform edges is feasible and beneficial. The study must examine three specific areas: safety improvements for riders, potential prevention of fatalities, and the financial costs of installation. The MTA must complete the study and submit a written report to state and city leaders within one year of the bill's effective date. The bill does not mandate installing the doors, only directing a study to assess their potential impact.
