mta.info MTA Neighborhood Maps. It's not clear from the maps which part(s) of the station is accessible, so look here for narrative:
mta.info Accessibility, though due to the complexity of some of the stations it's still not always easy to figure out exactly what's accessible.
All buses have wheelchair ramps (assuming they're working), but buses can be slow.
