Description
“Accessibility allows us to tap into everyone’s potential.” ― Debra Ruh While diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives are gaining momentum across the nation, it seems individuals with accessibility issues have often been left out of the conversation. Enter Roll Mobility, an innovative app that aims to bridge the information gap for people with disabilities by providing accurate and up-to-date accessibility information! I am so excited to welcome Roll Mobility Founder, Joe Foster, and team member, Rachel Zoeller to the T&T mic!

With accessibility, community, and mental health guiding the Roll Mobility ship- Joe and Rachel know that they are sailing toward positive change for this world.

Introducing Roll Mobility Where able-bodied people see options, people with mobility issues often see questions. Roll is here to provide answers. Roll Mobility is an app providing reliable accessibility information, specially designed for wheelchair users and those with mobility issues. The Roll platform equips users with information on restaurants, public spaces, businesses, trails, and parking areas. Say goodbye to doubts about whether a destination is truly accessible. Search for a location, and if reviewed an icon will represent its accessibility rating. The top of the icon indicates overall accessibility, and the bottom indicates bathroom accessibility. A green rating means that the location is accessible for a power chair user. Yellow indicates the location is mostly accessible but some barriers or obstacles might exist. Red indicates the location is not wheelchair accessible. Roll Mobility is a community-driven accessibility tool. Unlike other search engines, we understand that accurate data requires a united effort from the community. Together, we're paving the way for a more inclusive future.
