Access Board

The Access Board is a U.S. federal agency that promotes accessible design and accessibility standards. It develops guidelines to ensure that buildings, transportation, and electronic information are usable by people with disabilities. The board creates standards for accessibility in various sectors, including architecture, public transportation, and technology, ensuring compliance with laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). By doing so, it helps create equitable environments where everyone, regardless of ability, can participate fully in society.
