❄ Be a good winter neighbor! Remove snow that is blocking access as soon as you can. Be safe while removing snow as well!

02/23/2026

As the Northeast has been hit with a huge blizzard, please use caution and be safe while removing snow!

Winter is hard enough...
To ensure access, snow removal should be done quickly!

Remember... The ADA requires maintenance of accessible features by state/local government and businesses.

State laws may have penalties for entities failing to remove snow or blocking access.

If you have any questions about the Americans with Disabilities, please contact the Northeast ADA Center at 800-949-4232

While the ADA does not mandate an exact period of time (i.e., 12 hours, 24 hours, etc.) when snow must be removed, the expectation is that snow removal on accessible routes is prioritized in order to provide access for pedestrians with disabilities.
