In NYC, private contractors are being called upon by the MTA to help with accessibility upgrades to subway stations across the city and Staten Island. Real estate developers are being asked to build and maintain elevators that connect their properties to neighboring stations outside of Manhattan. In exchange, developers are granted zoning bonuses that can include expanding a building’s floor space.
