As reported by StreetsblogUSA, "Accessibility in the United States has been guided by the Americans with Disabilities Act since the 1990s — but it doesn't touch on the public right of way. Fortunately, the Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines — also known as PROWAG — address this subject, but they don't fully incorporate the input of individuals who need accessible infrastructure the most.”
