Nashville Tennessee is Working on Accessibility

Nashville, the capital of Tennessee, is a vibrant, fast-growing metropolis famously known as “Music City”. Nestled along the Cumberland River, it seamlessly blends legendary musical roots with a booming modern economy, world-class Southern cuisine, and a rich cultural and educational heritage.

Nashville is also working on becoming the most accessible city in the world! Access Music City is utilizing volunteers to survey venue and business accessibility. They are using BluePath, the platform that helps people with disabilities make informed decisions based on the ADA and also supports businesses as they create more inclusive spaces. Nashville has been awarded the 2034 Special Olympics USA Games, and they want to be ready for it!

Volunteers are trained in using BluePath to map accessible businesses and venues to contribute to this change. It could be as simple as a person mapping their favorite coffee house, or someone leading a corporate team in a larger mapping event.
