Improving Access for All: Why National Mobility Awareness Month Matters

Every May, National Mobility Awareness Month celebrates the importance of movement and the need to support accessibility for all. At EZ-ACCESS®, we believe mobility plays a vital role in enriching lives. This month shines a light on the individuals, families, and communities who face mobility challenges every day, and it’s an opportunity to raise awareness, celebrate innovation, and push for greater inclusivity in every space.

Why Mobility Awareness Matters

According to the CDC, approximately 1 in 7 adults in the U.S. lives with a mobility disability. That means millions of Americans rely on assistive devices, accessible infrastructure, and thoughtful design just to navigate daily life. National Mobility Awareness Month is about honoring those individuals, while also educating the broader public and inspiring action.

Whether it’s a parent who needs a ramp to help their child get to school safely, a veteran returning home who needs an accessible entry, or a business aiming to serve every customer equally, mobility solutions create freedom and independence.

Driving Change with Smart Solutions

Mobility awareness is more than just recognizing a challenge. It’s about solving it. That’s where EZ-ACCESS comes in.

We design and manufacture access solutions that help people move more freely, whether at home, work, or out in the world. From modular ramps to portable solutions and transitional entryways, our products are built to remove barriers.

But improving mobility goes beyond products. It’s about partnerships, compliance, and designing with every user in mind. That’s why we work closely with businesses, schools, healthcare providers, and homeowners to ensure our solutions meet a wide range of needs, as well as local and federal accessibility codes.

How You Can Get Involved

This May, we invite you to take part in National Mobility Awareness Month. Here are a few simple ways to make an impact:

  • Educate Yourself and Others: Learn about ADA guidelines, universal design, and the challenges people with mobility limitations face.

  • Assess Your Space: Whether at home or in a commercial setting, small changes like adding a threshold ramp can make a big difference.

  • Support Inclusive Businesses: Choose companies that prioritize accessibility for both customers and employees.

  • Share Stories: Know someone with an inspiring mobility journey? Share their story to amplify their voice and inspire change.

A Future with Fewer Barriers

At EZ-ACCESS, we’re committed to creating a world where everyone can go where they want, when they want, without limitations. National Mobility Awareness Month is a powerful reminder that while we’ve come a long way, there’s still work to do.

Let’s use this month to raise awareness, open minds, and continue building access solutions that bring us all closer together.
