Making transportation facilities accessible is vital to many people with disabilities. People who are blind, for instance, will not be able to drive, and will rely on public transit to get around to work, school, and other activities. Making these facilities accessible will also improve the quality for everyone. Curb ramps at an airport not only allow a wheelchair user to get up and down the sidewalks but also the traveler with a wheeled suitcase. Transportation facilities can also act as hubs of activity, providing commercial stores, restaurants and cafes, banks, and waiting areas. Everyone, regardless of their ability, should be equally able to access these features.
