UNIVERSAL DESIGN IS THE PATH TO ACHIEVING IT
For those hardline fiscal folks unconvinced of spending to make every mode of transportation accessible (including taxis, rideshare, autonomous fleet vehicles and airport shuttles), check out this fact.
A 2020 study by the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency
found that for every dollar spent on home repair (to make it more accessible
for aging and disability), there were $19 in Medicare savings.
If we invest in accessible transportation, sidewalks,
parks, shops, housing, schools and more – we get a huge return on investment.
