"A series of videos on sidewalk accessibility previously available on DVD can now be viewed through the Board's website. Accessible Sidewalks is a four-part video developed by the Board to illustrate issues and considerations in the design of sidewalks. The series covers access for pedestrians with mobility impairments, including those who use wheelchairs, and pedestrians who are blind or have low vision. The videos are open captioned and incorporate running descriptive audio.

The series on DVD is still available free from the Board. To order a copy, send a request for the “Accessible Sidewalks DVD” with your mailing address to pubs@access-board.gov or call the Board at (202) 272-0011 (v) or (202) 272-0082 (TTY)."
