Recognizing the need to improve physical access to many federally funded facilities for all people of the United States, particularly people with disabilities.

Sponsored By: Representative Hayes, Jahana [D-CT-5]

Introduced

Summary

Improving physical access to federally funded facilities for people with disabilities. This resolution would reaffirm the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Architectural Barriers Act and push universal, inclusive design into federal infrastructure and projects.

Show full summary
  • People with disabilities: Would highlight daily barriers and encourage federal action to remove them and follow existing accessibility laws.
  • Veterans: Notes 31 percent of veterans (about 5.5 million) have a service-connected disability, underscoring accessibility needs for this group.
  • Public transit users with disabilities: References the Access Board's pedestrian guidelines and the Department of Transportation's December 2024 adoption that makes newly constructed or altered transit stops subject to those guidelines starting January 2025.
  • Federal infrastructure planning: Would pledge that universal and inclusive design be a guiding principle for all infrastructure bills and projects and to continue identifying and removing barriers to federal services.
