MinuteMap

The Status Quo of NYC Transit Inaccessibility

This research page presents cited disability context and an explicitly modeled—not measured—estimate of how accessibility barriers can accumulate into lost time.

Direct Answer

The time-loss counter is a scenario estimate, not an observed citywide total. It combines published ridership and disability context with visible MinuteMap assumptions.

Evidence

The page cites each external fact beside the claim and keeps sourced figures separate from MinuteMap model inputs.

Limitations

The model does not identify each rider, trip, disability, or delay. Its result should be interpreted as a transparent scenario range rather than a precise measurement.
