The MBTA is more accessible to customers with disabilities than ever before. With hundreds of new low-floor buses, the ongoing expansion of elevators in our stations, free travel instruction training and more, we're striving to become a global model of accessible public transportation. We believe that true accessibility benefits everyone—seniors, parents, students, commuters, tourists, and the countless other customers we serve each day.
