ASME 17.1 Compliant Elevator Phones Installed at Mosholu Parkway

The MTA has opened two new elevators at the Mosholu Parkway4 Subway Station, making travel more accessible for thousands of daily riders.At the heart of this project is reliable communication, and LiftComm is proudto provide the ASME 17.1 compliant elevator phones that ensure every passengerhas a lifeline.

Why Communication Is a Code Requirement

The ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalatorsrequires elevators to have two-way emergency communication that works for allpassengers, including those with hearing, vision, or speech impairments.Compliance isn’t optional, it’s the foundation of safe operations.

LiftComm’s Inclusive Approach

Our elevator phones go beyond minimum code requirements:

• Voice     and text communication are built into every unit
• YES/NO     buttons for riders who cannot speak or hear
• Visual     indicators to guide passengers with hearing impairments
• Battery     backup to ensure communication even during outages

At Mosholu Parkway, these features make emergencycommunication accessible to everyone.

Reliability That Operators Trust

LiftComm is the only provider in the industry that offersboth on-premises hosting and cloud hosting. This gives building owners andtransit operators control and flexibility. On-premises hosting ensurescommunication remains reliable and secure, while cloud hosting supportsorganizations that prefer remote management.

Safety, Security, and Confidence

For the MTA, installing new elevators is about more thanmoving passengers, it’s about giving riders confidence that help is alwaysavailable. With LiftComm’s ASME 17.1 compliant elevator phones, the MosholuParkway station now combines accessibility upgrades with state-of-the-artcommunication technology.
