Learn about elevator replacement progress, accessible design within renovation, and more! Current/planned projects will be discussed and campus members (especially those with disabilities) are encouraged to share ideas, some may inform the proposal process for UMBC's participation with the AccessMD Program. The presentation goes well beyond that program - and ideas from the lived experience of people with disabilities are especially important to this event.

Daniel Teague, Acting Director of UMBC Transit will also present on both UMBC Transit as a partner for disability inclusion, as well as accessibility within UMBC Transit services.
