I definitely agree that more can be done and yes I do or MOPD has several different avenues of staying in touch and meeting with the staff at MTA not just about accessoride but about the subway, about the buses, making sure that all of it is accessible for the community.

And I have to say this, if you make it fully accessible for the community we serve you make it accessible for your tourists, you make it accessible for parents with toddlers, you make it accessible for the older adults.

So it is our goal to continue working with them, MTA, on a regular basis to make sure that they understand where we're coming from and then we also like to say when there are improvements we like to put that out there for the community as well.
