Travelers with Disabilities

Because of the high number of senior residents in Florida, most public buildings are wheel-
chair accessible and have appropriate restroom facilities. Transportation services are gen-
erally accessible to all, and telephone companies provide relay operators for the hearing
impaired. Many banks provide ATM instructions in Braille, curb ramps are common and
many busy intersections have audible crossing signals.
There are a number of organizations that specialize in the needs of disabled travelers.
