LiftComm supplied the emergency communication system for the two modernized elevators that opened this month at the MTA's Prospect Park station in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn. Two cabs, two intercoms, better service for the 6,500 weekday riders who move through the station on the B, Q, and S lines.

Not the cab. Not the machine room. Not the mechanical or electrical equipment. The two-way voice and text intercom inside each cab that meets ASME A17.1-2019 Section 2.27.1.1.3 and lets a rider reach help the moment the doors close.

Smarter Communication. Safer Rides.

The LiftComm system installed in both new Prospect Park cabs is ASME A17.1-2019 compliant, with two-way voice and text, video acknowledgement, a 45-second auto-reroute when the first responder doesn't answer, and four-hour standby power. It is ADA compliant with visual acknowledgement for hearing-impaired riders. Call traffic stays on-premises inside MTA infrastructure.

On-premises hosting matters in transit. Cloud-hosted elevator phones route emergency traffic through outside vendor infrastructure, a non-starter for the kind of network security a transit agency has to maintain. LiftComm devices integrate directly into the MTA's own network and PBX. PoE-powered units in each cab provision automatically when they're plugged in.

Prospect Park: 6,500 Weekday Riders in Prospect Lefferts Gardens

The Prospect Park station sits on the elevated Brighton Line and serves 6,500 weekday riders across the B, Q, and S lines. Two new elevators opened this month: one connecting the street to the Manhattan-bound platform and one connecting the street to the Brooklyn-bound platform. The MTA delivered the project on budget. It is the 22nd elevator replacement completed in 2026.

One Specification, One Workflow, Every Cab

Prospect Park is a two-elevator install. Each cab gets the same LiftComm hardware, same firmware, same maintenance workflow. Whether a station gets one new elevator or three, the LiftComm scope drops in the same way. That consistency is why LiftComm intercoms are the emergency comms of choice for MTA elevator replacements across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan.

Built for Transit. Ready for What's Next.

Since 2020, LiftComm has supplied the emergency communication system for MTA elevator replacements and new accessibility installs across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan. Every one of those cabs meets ASME A17.1-2019 and ASME A17.1-2022: two-way voice and text, video acknowledgement, 45-second auto-reroute, four-hour standby power, and ADA-compliant visual acknowledgement. The architecture LiftComm ships today is the compliant baseline for both editions of the code.

The 2025-2029 Capital Plan invests $7.1 billion in station accessibility, funding 60 additional ADA-accessible stations and 45 more subway elevator replacements. Every one of those elevators needs an emergency phone that meets current code. That is what LiftComm builds.

Prospect Park is the 22nd elevator replacement the MTA has delivered this year. Pace matters when the backlog is this long.
