Road to Access Act of 2023

Bill 118 s 2975, also known as the Road to Access Act of 2023, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to improve access to transportation for individuals with disabilities.

The bill proposes several key provisions to achieve this goal. Firstly, it calls for the creation of a national database of accessible transportation options, including public transportation, ride-sharing services, and other modes of transportation. This database would be easily accessible to individuals with disabilities, allowing them to easily find and utilize transportation services that meet their needs.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions to improve the accessibility of transportation infrastructure, such as sidewalks, crosswalks, and bus stops. This would make it easier for individuals with disabilities to navigate their communities and access transportation services. Furthermore, the bill calls for increased funding for programs that provide transportation services for individuals with disabilities, such as paratransit services and accessible taxis. This funding would help ensure that individuals with disabilities have reliable and affordable transportation options available to them. Overall, the Road to Access Act of 2023 aims to address the barriers that individuals with disabilities face when trying to access transportation services. By improving accessibility and increasing funding for transportation programs, this bill seeks to create a more inclusive and equitable transportation system for all individuals.
