Exits
The station's entrance is beyond the bumper blocks at the south end of
the platform. It contains a turnstile bank, token booth, and leads to
Rockaway Parkway. On the side of the station house opposite the
transfer point is a secondary entrance/exit that contains one HEET
entry/exit turnstile, one exit-only HEET turnstile, and one emergency
gate. This unstaffed entrance/exit leads to a NYCDOT municipal
parking lot, located on the north side of the station. This lot was
opened by the New York City Transit Authority in 1959, with space
for 340 cars.[9][10]

Bus transfer
This station is the only one in the system with a bus transfer station
within fare control. When the rail service to Canarsie Pier along
Rockaway Parkway was discontinued, riders were entitled to a free
transfer to the replacement trolleys. Rather than issue paper transfers
so riders could exit to the street for the trolleys, a loop was built next
to the station with a boarding platform. When the trolleys were
discontinued in April 1949, the B42 bus replaced them.[11] South of
here, there are still trolley poles remaining, with street lighting using
some of them.[12]

Train riders walk directly to the bus loading area without leaving the
fare control zone. In turn, bus passengers from Rockaway Parkway
enter the subway station without paying an additional fare. At the
street, a chain link fence gate blocks access to the bus area to prevent
pedestrians from sneaking in for a free ride. The gate is operated by an
electric trigger, and was put into operation on December 7, 1960.[11]
The back of the bus loop contains an unstaffed entrance to the
Rockaway Parkway station that is built on a small shack, has one
HEET turnstile, one exit-only turnstile, and one emergency gate, and
leads to the northeast corner of Glenwood Road and East 98th Street.
Other buses serving the station stop at the curb and pick up passengers
outside fare control on the East 98th Street loop outside the inner loop.
A chain link fence separates the loops.

As part of the 2015–2019 MTA Capital Program, a bus boarding island

that meets ADA curb height standards, as well as additional
[8]
modifications, will be constructed for $2.40 million.
