Silver Servant
Silver Servant, solving inaccessibility by supporting subway riders in under resourced communities
About Us
Why was Silver Servant created?
Although many steps have been taken towards an accessible future in New York City train stations, the issue of inaccessibility is still faced by many New Yorkers today; Specifically, citizens who reside in smaller low income communities. The fact is that no matter how many changes and policies are made, they are still going to take time, money, and resources that many New Yorkers simply can't wait for. As someone who lives in a community impacted by this issue, high school student Emily Gamble saw the physical struggle her neighbors had to endure when commuting. In response, She created Silver Servant to give New Yorkers in her community the support they needed to commute in a safe and stress free way.
