MTA-reported monthly availability

Share of hours this unit was available each month, as published by the MTA (MTA NYCT elevator and escalator availability, data.ny.gov). Our own outage history for MTA equipment before October 16, 2026 is incomplete, so a month here can show downtime that is missing from the history above.
