The ADA, or the
Americans with Disabilities Act, outlines certain requirements that help make public areas more accessible to motorized scooters, walkers, and wheelchairs through the use of ramps. These ramps are designed to minimize the hazards of curb edges and increase accessibility to people suffering from disabilities. For example, a curb edge can cause a scooter or wheelchair to topple, or a person using a walker to trip. Furthermore, if there is a lack of access for people with disabilities in a public area, it can be considered discrimination under federal law.
