However, all subway stations built since 1996 are equipped with elevators, and elevators have been installed in 45 stations built before 1996. Over three-quarters of Toronto's subway stations are accessible. The original plan was to make all stations accessible by 2025; however, a few stations might not be accessible until 2026.
