Report Accessibility Barriers: Map Wheelchair Obstacles & Access Issues

Map accessibility barriers like missing ramps or broken elevators.

Vyzkoušet demo

Our disability advocacy group wants to map accessibility barriers downtown.

I'll set up an AccessMap with categories for missing ramps, broken elevators, blocked sidewalks, and inaccessible entrances. Contributors can add photos of each barrier.

Co je Accessibility Barrier Reporter?

Accessibility barriers are physical obstacles that prevent people with disabilities from moving freely through urban space, limiting wheelchair accessibility in everyday environments: missing wheelchair ramps at curb cuts, broken elevators in transit stations, steps at building entrances without handrails, and blocked sidewalks. These barriers are often invisible to city planners because they do not appear in infrastructure databases, only in the lived experience of the people who encounter them.

People affected by mobility limitations, as well as volunteers and advocacy groups, map barriers directly on a shared map. Each report includes a photo taken at the location, the GPS coordinates, and the barrier type, for example missing ramp, broken elevator, or inaccessible building entrance. The photo-documented record is precise enough to be forwarded directly to the responsible municipal office without additional field verification.

Disability advocacy groups and inclusion initiatives use the map to build an evidence base for funding applications and infrastructure planning. Municipalities receive location-specific data that supports prioritization in their barrier-free infrastructure programs. The dataset also helps cities track progress as reported barriers are addressed over time.

Barrier Type Classification
Reports are categorized by barrier type: missing ramp, broken elevator, missing curb cut, sidewalk obstacle, missing tactile paving, or inaccessible building entrance. Typed data is directly usable for infrastructure planning and funding allocation.
On-Location Photo Documentation
Each report includes a GPS-tagged photo taken at the barrier. The image provides the physical context that a category label alone cannot convey, and it gives municipal offices enough information to act without a separate site visit.
Independent Reports
Multiple contributors can report the same barrier independently. Repeated reports show where a barrier affects many people.
Municipal Data Export
Collected reports can be exported as CSV with coordinates or retrieved via the Open311 API, ready for municipal GIS systems and barrier-free infrastructure programs. No manual transcription of field observations required.

Pro koho to je?

Disability Advocacy Groups & Self-Help Organizations

Launch a city-wide barrier mapping campaign. Members report barriers they encounter in daily life. The resulting dataset provides concrete evidence for conversations with city authorities and supports funding applications for barrier removal.

Municipalities & Urban Planning Departments

Receive structured, photo-documented barrier reports from the community. Use the data to identify which neighborhoods have the highest density of unaddressed barriers and to plan investments in accessible infrastructure where they are most needed.

Inclusion Initiatives & Volunteers

Organize targeted mapping sessions in specific districts, around transit hubs, or along main pedestrian routes. Volunteers systematically document barriers in a defined area. The structured output is ready to hand over to the relevant municipal department.

Často kladené otázky

What are accessibility barriers?
Accessibility barriers are physical obstacles that prevent people with disabilities from moving freely: missing wheelchair ramps, broken elevators, blocked sidewalks, steps without handrails, and inaccessible building entrances.
Is AccessMap related to WCAG compliance?
AccessMap focuses on physical barriers in public spaces, not digital accessibility (WCAG). However, the data collected can support cities in meeting UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities obligations for barrier-free infrastructure.
Mohu upravit kategorie?
Ano. Kategorie můžete kdykoli přejmenovat, přidat nebo odebrat v dashboardu.
Co se děje se shromážděnými daty?
Vaše data jsou uložena na infrastruktuře v EU a patří vám. Kdykoli je můžete exportovat přes dashboard nebo Open311 API.
Mohu použít vlastní doménu?
Ano. Vlastní domény přes CNAME jsou dostupné v plánu Pro a vyšších.
