A concurrent resolution recognizing the need to improve physical access to many federally funded facilities for all people of the United States, particularly people with disabilities.
Summary
S.Con.Res. 31 is a congressional resolution that formally acknowledges the ongoing physical barriers people with disabilities face when trying to access federally funded buildings and infrastructure. The resolution pledges that Congress will prioritize "universal and inclusive design"—standards that ensure environments are usable by everyone regardless of age or ability—as a core principle for all future federal infrastructure projects. For citizens, this means that new or renovated government-funded facilities, such as post offices, parks, and transit hubs, would be designed from the start to be more accessible to individuals with mobility, sensory, or cognitive disabilities.
