This concurrent resolution recognizes the critical need to enhance physical access to federally funded facilities across the United States, particularly for persons with disabilities. It acknowledges that despite significant legislative efforts like the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and technological advancements, over 70 million Americans continue to encounter daily barriers. The resolution underscores that disability is a widespread concern, impacting a substantial portion of the population, including veterans and people of color, and contributing to disparities in employment rates. Congress reaffirms its commitment to existing legislation, specifically the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 , encouraging their full compliance. It highlights recent accessibility guidelines for public rights-of-way, developed by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board and adopted by the Department of Transportation, as a step towards ensuring equitable access. The resolution ultimately pledges to integrate universal and inclusive design as a core principle for all future infrastructure bills and projects, aiming to eliminate barriers and guarantee equal access to federal services for all citizens.
