by AccessNow
Created in 2015 by Maayan Ziv, AccessNow began as a simple idea: give people with disabilities the same kind of crowdsourced local information that apps like Yelp give everyone else — but filtered for what actually matters when you use a wheelchair or have another accessibility need. The platform has grown to over 200,000 rated places across 35 countries. The project has been featured in Forbes, Wired, The New York Times, and AFAR Magazine.
AccessNow is built primarily for wheelchair users and people with mobility-related barriers, but its expanding filter set makes it useful for anyone whose disability affects where they can comfortably go. The platform is free to use for searching, rating, and discovering locations.
