The Americans with Disabilities Act turned 35 this year. Buses are accessible. Stations have been retrofitted. Billions have been invested. So why does getting from point A to point B still feel like an obstacle course for 25.5 million Americans with travel-limiting disabilities?
In this timely whitepaper, SilverRide CEO Jeff Maltz and Director of Growth Tanya Castle examine what the next chapter of transportation accessibility must look like, drawing on FTA Administrator Marc Molinaro's call for "universal accessibility and universal design" as a federal priority. The authors make a compelling case: infrastructure alone isn't enough. Riders with dementia, PTSD, visual impairments, and neurodivergent conditions need more than ramps and audio announcements. They need human-centered solutions built for safety, dignity, and independence.
What You'll Learn:
Why accessible TNC rides represent just 1 in 1,400 trips, and what that means for equity
The safety gaps that keep 66% of eligible riders from ever using paratransit
How SilverRide's purpose-built model delivers reliability and safety for healthcare and transit partners
What "finishing what we started" looks like: practical pathways combining public investment with private innovation
Why the aging population makes this a civil rights issue and an economic imperative
