Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board

The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board, often referred to as the Access Board, is a U.S. federal agency dedicated to ensuring accessibility for people with disabilities. It develops guidelines and standards to make buildings, public spaces, and transportation more inclusive. This includes ensuring features like ramps, elevators, and proper signage are available and compliant with accessibility laws. By setting these standards, the Access Board aims to remove barriers in the built environment, enabling equal access for everyone, regardless of their physical abilities.
