This month marks the 33rd Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law in 1990. The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. The ADA gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications. The ADA is divided into five titles (or sections) that relate to different areas of public life. https://lnkd.in/eG6y_WC

Today Main Street America shared an intriguing People-First Transportation Toolkit on the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities. The toolkit provides valuable insights into key streetscape amenities to enhance street accessibility, safety, and create a welcoming environment. Some of the essential streetscape amenities to consider include: 1. Lampposts and pedestrian-scale lighting: Proper lighting is crucial for creating a safe atmosphere, allowing Main Street sidewalks and public spaces to be active even in the evening. 2. Planters or hanging baskets: Adding plants to the streetscape brings color and vibrancy, supports insect habitats, and helps manage stormwater runoff. 3. Seating: Install benches and other outdoor seating options to offer people resting places while socializing or waiting in your commercial district. This also visually communicates that the street prioritizes people. 4. Trash receptacles: Well-maintained and appropriately placed trash receptacles are essential for maintaining a clean and attractive Main Street. Easy access to trash disposal is crucial; otherwise, people may avoid disposing of trash properly. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3rObddu
Today is the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Unfortunately, many public spaces across the country remain inaccessible for people with disabilities. Research has found that, on average, over half of the sidewalks, curb cuts, and crossings in our cities have accessibility barriers. Main Streets can play a key role in removing these barriers and increasing access in our communities.
