THE FUTURE IS INCLUSIVE

HERE’S HOW WE GET THERE

The U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Justice must adopt clear guidelines that municipalities can use to make meaningful accessibility changes to their pedestrian infrastructure. 

DOT should ensure accessible transit facilities, and the DOJ needs to enforce the law for barrier-free public rights of way.

Marsha says United Spinal is also working on micromobility and how dockless scooters and bikes can be hazardous for people with disabilities if not strongly regulated.

Cities must also do more to ensure that buildings are in accessible condition – so elevator outages are not ignored for long periods in residential or commercial buildings.

This is all an incredibly long to-do list. 

It encompasses everything from health and well-being to getting reckless scooter punks to dock their wheels properly. 

But United Spinal’s vision is a world where people with spinal cord injuries/disorders, wheelchair users, and others with disabilities can realize their full potential.

And the whole team is passionate about bringing that inclusive world into being.
