104 St (A) Wheelchair Accessibility (ADA) Guide | NYC Subway Queens

104 St (A) is not ADA wheelchair accessible

104 St (A) is classified as not ADA-accessible in MTA public data. If a wheelchair or stroller user must pass through this station, it is safer to route through a nearby accessible station or consider another mode of transport.

Routes serving this station and station structure

The daytime routes serving 104 St (A) are A. The station structure is registered as "Elevated," and the shape of the accessible route can vary by structure — at grade, elevated, or underground.

Don't judge direction by route number or letter alone — confirm the destination and next station shown on the platform display. At stations where multiple routes overlap, there is a real risk of boarding a train in the opposite direction.

Where this station stands for accessibility within Queens

Of the 79 stations registered in Queens, 24 are ADA-accessible — about 30.4%.

104 St (A) is one of the not-accessible stations outside that share. Since Queens has a limited number of ADA-accessible stations, wheelchair users should plan their route by finding an accessible station near their destination in advance.

Check today's real-time availability separately

This data is static accessibility information the MTA publishes and does not include today's real-time elevator/escalator outages or inspections. Even a station marked accessible could have equipment temporarily out of service, so it is worth checking this station's recent availability and outage history together on the elevator and escalator availability page.

If equipment access is essential for your trip, check real-time status on official MTA guidance (mta.info) before you leave, and prioritize station staff guidance and signage once on site.

How to use this information when planning your trip

Wheelchair or stroller users should check ADA accessibility at both the origin and destination stations before deciding a route. If there is a transfer, be sure to check the transfer station's accessibility too — even if one leg is accessible, the trip can be difficult if the full route isn't.

If your destination is near a station marked not accessible, consider getting off at a nearby accessible station and continuing on the surface. Since walking may be difficult depending on distance and terrain, it is worth checking the actual walking route on a map app in advance.
