Accessible Facilities Standards

Accessible Facilities Standards are guidelines designed to ensure buildings and public spaces are usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. They specify features like ramps, wider doors, accessible restrooms, and clear signage to remove physical barriers. These standards help create safe, comfortable environments that allow all individuals to access and navigate facilities independently. They are often part of legal requirements to promote inclusivity, ensuring equal access in education, work, transportation, and public services. Overall, these standards aim to foster equity and improve quality of life for people with diverse needs.
