Ride With Confidence: The Need for Accessible Public Transportation
We all have to get around, and individuals with disabilities often encounter barriers, especially in public transportation. Public transportation options, such as buses, ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft, and other transit systems, are often essential for those with mobility differences. Wheelchair accessibility in public transportation cannot be overlooked. Let’s explore why this is and how public transportation decision-makers can create a more accessible world for their customers and communities.
Inclusive Design in Religious Spaces: A Necessity, Not an Option
Inclusive design in religious spaces is crucial for fostering a sense of community and ensuring that everyone, regardless of their physical abilities, can participate in worship and other activities. Religious spaces are places of spiritual growth, community bonding, and cultural preservation. Making these spaces accessible to all is a marker of strong moral senses. While the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) excludes religious organizations and spaces from its requirements, it still serves as a guidepost for how to make accessibility happen in those buildings. We’ll discuss the importance of accessibility in religious spaces, the ADA guidelines relevant to these locations that can help create mobility inclusion, and how EZ-ACCESS® products can make these changes a breeze.
Accessibility Enhancements at the Davis Rodeo Ranch
The Davis Rodeo Ranch is the proud training facility of the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Coach for the team known as the Carolina Cowboys. Located in Archdale, North Carolina, the Davis Rodeo Ranch is owned by the 1995 PRCA World Bull Riding Champion, Jerome Davis. When thrown from a bull in 1998, Jerome suffered paralysis from the chest down. Living life in a wheelchair after the injury has never held Jerome back. He has continued to be a force in the bull-riding world and coaches the Carolina Cowboys. Recently, EZ-ACCESS® and Penrod Medical Equipment helped make the Davis Rodeo Ranch more accessible through custom-built commercial ramps.
Which Platform Is Right for Your Needs?
Level and protected ground is a major plus in any commercial space. It creates a safer environment for visitors or employees, makes it easier to move equipment, and turns previously unstable areas into sturdy surfaces. Aluminum platforms are an ideal choice to make surfaces easy to navigate, whether inside or outside. As the industry leader in aluminum accessibility solutions, including platforms, EZ-ACCESS® will be your guide to choosing the right structure for your needs.
