A concurrent resolution recognizing the need to improve physical access to many federally funded facilities for all people of the United States, particularly people with disabilities.

This concurrent resolution recognizes the daily access barriers faced by people with disabilities in the United States, underscoring the need for improved physical access to federally funded facilities. It notes that disability is a universal concern, affecting over 70 million adults and a significant portion of veterans, highlighting the importance of equal opportunity for all citizens to access public amenities. Congress reaffirms its strong support for key accessibility legislation, including the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 , encouraging their full compliance. The resolution also acknowledges recent efforts, such as the 2023 guidelines from the United States Access Board for pedestrian facilities, which aim to ensure equivalent convenience and safety for pedestrians with disabilities. Finally, Congress pledges to make universal and inclusive design a guiding principle for all future infrastructure bills and projects. This commitment involves actively working to identify and remove barriers that prevent equal access to services provided by the Federal Government for all people.
