1 in 4 American adults are living with a disability, making people with disabilities the largest minority group in the United States. Increasing accessibility in our communities must remain a priority.

Not all disabilities are visible or present from birth. Anyone can develop a disability at any point in life as a result of an accident, illness, or other health condition. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a disability can include physical or mental impairments that substantially limit one or more daily activities.

Accessible environments benefit all users by creating environments that are clearer and easier to navigate. Thoughtful design, including tactile guidance for people who are blind or have low vision, can make public spaces easier to navigate with confidence.
