Accessibility refers to the ability of people of all ages and abilities to comfortably navigate public and private spaces. Formalized by the federal government as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), accessibility principles underpin regulations that call for accessible elements such as wheelchair ramps, curb cuts, buttons, and more. Accessibility planning centers the experience of people with disabilities in designing public spaces, buildings, and transit facilities.
