MAKE IT WORK FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) hasn’t guaranteed accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities.
Even before the pandemic, public spending to remove barriers for wheelchair users and others was woefully inadequate.
City and county budgets are routinely approved with zero dollars dedicated to removing obstacles and downright dangerous barriers.
Spending on
capital improvement and public works projects is rarely dedicated to removing
barriers and enhancing accessibility.
But
especially in times of prosperity and peril, people with disabilities have been
left behind.
