Why provide accessibility?
20% of those older than 15 years old have some kind of disability per a U.S. Census Brief. Pedestrian facilities may be a primary means of transportation and barriers such as steep slopes, and curbs may keep some from getting where they need to go. Accessibility features can be a benefit to all. Without these accessibility features the consequences are possible violations of Federal civil rights. This video reviews curb ramp basics and discusses ADA, DOT and FHA scoping requirements.
