On most subway platforms the area where the conductor s car usually stops is designated by a striped sign hung from the ceiling. Wait at least three feet back from the platform edge. Position your wheelchair or scooter so that it is facing the tracks, and lock the wheels. Never place your wheelchair or scooter between a station column and the platform edge. Be especially careful on curved platforms.
Trains Pay special attention to the gap between the platform edge and the subway car.
Once inside the car, position your wheelchair or scooter near either end of the car. This will allow other passengers to move about the car freely. If you cannot reach this area, place your chair near the doorway without blocking it. Remember to lock the wheels of your chair once you are in place. Look for a chalkboard in the station booth or ask the station agent about changes in service - particularly on weekends.
