Improving Physical Access to Federal Facilities for People with Disabilities.

Congress recognizes the urgent need to remove physical barriers in federally funded facilities to ensure equal access for all citizens, especially those with disabilities. This resolution commits Congress to making universal and inclusive design a guiding principle for all future infrastructure projects. This means new roads, sidewalks, and public buildings must be designed to be safe and convenient for everyone, regardless of physical ability.
Key points
Reaffirming support for existing accessibility laws (ADA and ABA) and encouraging full compliance in public facilities.
Pledging to use universal and inclusive design principles in all new federally funded infrastructure projects.
Improving access to sidewalks, crosswalks, and parking through new guidelines set to become enforceable legal standards.
