Learn more about the archive and the long struggle for transportation access in New York City! The New York Disability Rights Archive was established in 2021 to preserve records of local activists and advocates. Many of these people were part of a movement that led to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and continues to this day.

We have identified 16 advocacy topics in the documents collected so far. Transportation access is the best-documented topic area. See highlights from the archive that show the transformation of transportation in New York City from after WWII to today.
