A Citizen's Guide to Accessibility

Guide Overview

"Accessibility in the United States has been guided by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) since the 1990s. However, there was a major domain of accessibility that the act failed to touch on; the public right of way. The Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) address this subject, but there is still a long way to go towards incorporating the input of individuals who need accessible infrastructure the most." 

In this resource, Marissa Bell walks through her research on accessibility and the ramifications her inputs have on accessibility law, engineering and the lived experiences of those living with disabilities. The full copy of the guide is attached to this post.
