Read more about how Lift Communications helps serve our community
The MTA continues its commitment to expanding accessibility across the New York City subway system with new elevators now open at the Northern Blvd M/R Station in Queens. This MTA elevator accessibility upgrade makes travel safer and more convenient for riders who rely on accessible infrastructure, improving station usability for all passengers.
Elevators in the NYC subway must meet the latest ASME 17.1 2022 standards for safety and performance. Those standards require reliable, easy-to-use emergency communication systems that remain operational in every condition. LiftComm elevator phones are built to meet those expectations and go beyond them.
Every LiftComm device combines voice, text, and visual communication in a single unit. Unlike systems that depend on multiple components, each phone is an all-in-one solution that simplifies installation and reduces maintenance.
If a phone can perform in the NYC subway, it can perform anywhere. LiftComm’s elevator communication systems are designed for high-traffic, high-moisture, and high-vibration environments, places where ordinary devices fail. Our systems deliver 99.98 percent uptime, ensuring that passengers have access to emergency communication when it matters most.

The NYC subway operates on one of the world’s largest networks, where cybersecurity and uptime are critical. LiftComm is the only provider offering on-premises hosting for elevator communication systems. This gives operators control over data, network access, and security without relying solely on cloud connections.
Industry organizations such as ASME highlight the importance of system reliability and secure communication in safety-critical environments.
The Northern Blvd project is part of the MTA’s broader effort to make more stations accessible through its Zoning for Accessibility initiative. With upgrades like these, riders gain confidence that every elevator is monitored, compliant, and ready when needed.
