ENSURING THE 15-MINUTE CITY SERVES ALL
Heidi Johnson-Wright, a law school graduate and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance professional, has used a power wheelchair for mobility for 35 years.
“Many people with disabilities would welcome the benefits of the 15-minute neighborhood because of the reduction of car dependence,” she said.
“Some cannot or do not want to drive.
Many who can
drive cannot afford to buy and insure a vehicle.”
People with disabilities have high rates of unemployment and are more likely to live in poverty than any other minority group.
Those who survive on a monthly government (SSI) benefits check
receive less than $800, which is all they have for rent, food, transportation,
etc.
