Which do you end up relying on more: elevators or escalators?

West Farms Sq-E Tremont Av has only 1 escalator(s) registered, with no elevators. Wheelchair or stroller users may find it difficult to get through this station using only the registered equipment, so be sure to check alternate access routes with official MTA guidance before visiting.

Even when multiple units are registered, they often connect platforms or entrances in different directions, so one unit being out of service does not guarantee another covers the same route. Even at a station with several units, confirm on site which unit actually connects to your direction of travel.

How to use this statistic when planning your trip

Availability and outage counts reflect a recent one-month trend, not real-time status. A station with high average availability could suddenly break down today, and conversely a station with many outages last month could be working fine right now. Use the figures on this page as a reference for how reliably this station's equipment typically operates.

If you need to travel with a wheelchair, stroller, or heavy luggage, or have a tight transfer window, it is safer to allow more time or check an alternate route in advance for stations with lower average availability or a longer outage history.

Check today's real-time availability separately

This data is public statistics the MTA publishes monthly, and does not include today's real-time outage, inspection, or construction information. If elevator or escalator access is essential, check real-time status on official MTA guidance (mta.info) before you leave, and prioritize station staff guidance and signage once on site.
