• Abstract:
  Researchers conducted hour-long, semi-structured, online interviews from February 2021 to March 2022 with 28 people to understand what, when, and how infrastructure elements limit mobility. Of those interviewed, 26 self-identified as having a disability, and two of those interviewed were educators at a local school for children and adults with disabilities. The researchers also spoke with nine transportation professionals working at municipalities or nonprofits throughout the Denver Region. They conducted 30-minute, semi-structured, online interviews during April and May 2022 with these planners and engineers.
