WE CAN’T AFFORD TO *NOT* MAKE OUR CITIES

MORE ACCESSIBLE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES


Myth #3: People with disabilities are outliers, a fringe special interest.

Big firms spend millions developing a new product in hopes of capturing a boost of market share by a few percent.

Imagine the benefits of a coffee shop, hardware store, or hair salon that can get foot traffic from 100% of the community.

Used competently, ADA compliance and design for inclusion are an economic engine.

Instead of trying to dismantle or ignore it, let’s recognize it for the potential it has to make our cities and towns better, more financially resilient, and equitable places for the people living in them.
