Penn Station is one of the few that has elevators for wheelchair patrons, and the shuttle (the AirTrain) is also wheelchair accessible. The Howard Beach Station is wheelchair accessible, too. So you are in luck. See the Related Links below for more information about wheelchair access and public transportation in New York City. If you want, you can also just take a cab. You can always get a yellow cab at the airport, although you might have to wait awhile for one. If you don't want to wait, you can call a car service in advance to pick you up. There are two main car service companies that service the New York area: Carmel (212-666-6666) and Dial 7 Car & Limo (212-777-7777). Both provide excellent service; it really doesn't matter which one you pick.
