“The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) today invited children with autism to the Fulton Center subway station in Lower Manhattan to listen to station announcements they recorded as part of a comprehensive public service campaign in celebration of Autism Acceptance Month.
In partnership with New York City Public Schools and INCLUDEnyc, students with autism from both private and public organizations recorded subway station announcements advising riders to follow subway rules of conduct and reminding listeners that it is Autism Acceptance Month. Family members of MTA employees and families with My Time also participated in recording announcements. Children were accompanied by family members to meet MTA leaders, a car equipment maintenance supervisor, a train service supervisor, a subway conductor, a platform controller, a bus operator, a customer service agent and other transit workers to ask them questions and listen to their announcements being played.”
