College Students Load Accessible Businesses on BluePath

A leadership class at Washington State University has been mapping accessible businesses while on Spring Break. As part of their project, they learned how to map an accessible business to load it on the BluePath site. It’s easy to do, takes about 10 minutes.

They mapped several businesses including the Union Gospel Mission Thrift Store in Coeur d’Alene. Although the Thrift Store is mostly accessible, they do have issues maintaining a 36″ aisle free of obstructions throughout the store. But if that isn’t a deal breaker for you, the business should meet your needs.

Hosting a Mapathon is an easy way for a group to do something for the community that’s fun and interactive. If you have a group that is interested in some community work, let us know and we can set up a training. About 30 minutes is all it takes and your are ready to go out and find accessible businesses to load on the site. We take care of the rest!
