Curb ramps are critical to providing independence and equality to people with mobility and sight impairments. State and nationwide curb ramp upgrade initiatives require all public infrastructures to be wheelchair accessible and adhere to compliance standards, leaving many thousands of existing wheelchair ramps needing to be reconfigured.
