For the disability community, technology can be the most valuable travel companion. These apps and services make it easier to get around a new city.
AccessibleGO The service AccessibleGO was created by Miriam Eljas whose mom, Emma, had multiple sclerosis and was a wheelchair user. The site allows you to book accessible flights and hotels across the United States. Then, a team member calls each of the vendors to confirm they can meet your needs.
Berlin, Tokyo, and Paris are hot spots for entries, but the site has grown to include users worldwide with 3.2 million marked places. Google Maps Google's free and ubiquitous Maps platform offers quite a few accessibility features, such as a wheelchair-accessible route option for walking directions so you can get stair-free routes between locations. If you’re exploring shops, businesses, or museums, the wheelchair icon can help you find accessibility information.
