Accessible Route AUDIT

People with disabilities frequently encounter obstacles when they attempt to get from point A to point B. Do you have a particular walkway or route on campus that you know has caused a problem for someone with a disability? Feel free to try out this AUDIT to see how universally desgned the route is. What is the impact of special events parking on an accessible route? This AUDIT has guidelines when detours are necessary.

I think that the audit is very thorough and incorporates all of the components of making a route accessible. As a suggestion, it might be helpful to include a link of some sort to #6 so that the user can quickly reference the ADA-ABA standards for curb cuts.

This audit is very thorough about explaining the process of making a route accessible. I think this audit is useful because many universities tend to not have accessible routes without even realising. I agree with the comment above, that linking the ADA-BA standards would be a useful component to look back on while reading this audit.

I think this is important because it opens your eyes to something you have always thought was so simple but can actually be very difficult or impossible for some people.

I think it is very helpful that it considers file dynamics as that is very useful when it comes to application. However, it would be helpful to have an image of a bad example and a good example to reinforce the information.

This was very well written and easy to follow. I think it has a lot of information about ADA and how to make things more accessible.

This AUDIT is easy to follow and use. I agree that it would be nice to link the ADA-BA standards to the AUDIT.
