Detroit Accessibility Project
There is no one-stop-shop for accessibility information for Downtown Detroit. And information on the websites of individual stadiums, theaters, and museums can be challenging to find, or nonexistent. When these venues do provide accessibility information, it oftentimes only applies to those with mobility issues but doesn't address sensory or other nonvisible disabilities. Without this information, navigating Detroit can be laborious for someone with a disability, and it excludes them from cultural spaces. Objective: Create the best accessibility guide Detroit has seen, and set the standard for accessibility information among these venues and attractions. Bring accessibility to the forefront and give disabled individuals an equal shot to engage and participate with their communities. Create sustainable accessibility infrastructure for communities.
