The MBTA announced a major expansion of accessibility improvements across the Green Line, with 68 of 70 stations expected to meet accessibility standards by 2031.

For individuals living with brain injury, accessible public transportation is critical for maintaining independence, attending medical and rehabilitation appointments, accessing employment and education, and staying connected to the community. Features such as elevators, accessible boarding platforms, improved signage, and wayfinding supports can make navigating public transit safer and less overwhelming for riders with cognitive, sensory, or mobility challenges.

The project includes significant upgrades to Symphony Station, including new elevators, accessible bathrooms, raised platforms, and enhanced wayfinding, as well as modernization work at multiple C Branch stations.

Accessible transportation is more than infrastructure. It is an important part of creating inclusive communities for people living with disabilities, including brain injury survivors and their families.
