Travel continues to be a growing industry—people are driven to see and experience other parts of the world for themselves. For those with mobility differences, including anyone using a device such as a wheelchair or walker, travel has additional layers of planning. Not every destination will be fully accessible, and the path there may have barriers as well. We’ll discuss travel accessibility considerations and some recent improvements in accessibility that make visiting or vacationing easier.

Businesses and public spaces have a wide variety of people who visit and need to be able to navigate the space. Having the right stairs helps ensure everyone can get around, and commercial stairs are held to certain regulations depending on the kind of building in which they are located. From requirements found in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to those of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), there are a lot of rules to navigate! That’s why EZ-ACCESS® is here to help you explore your options.

May marks Mobility Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about mobility differences and advocating for accessibility in our communities. At EZ-ACCESS®, we believe in the power of accessibility to transform lives and promote inclusivity. We're committed to supporting this important cause and will help shine a light on what a mobility disability entails, why mobility awareness matters, and how businesses can prioritize accessibility in their spaces.

When your business or attraction has a lot of traffic, a standard commercial ramp might not be enough. A wide access ramp provides increased space to get a large number of people in and out of a location without creating a bottleneck. The larger access point also allows for those with mobility devices to have increased room to maneuver, especially if there is a caregiver alongside them.

Accessibility goes beyond the physical infrastructure of equipment like aluminum ramps or automatic doors. It symbolizes and embodies a broader inclusivity and well-being for those who benefit from those solutions. While the spotlight often shines on the tangible parts of accessibility, the psychological dividends it brings are equally important.
