  • 1.  Accessibility and GIS Webinar - GPN Mid-Atlantic Chapter

    Posted 4 days ago

    Came across this free accessibility and GIS webinar from GPN Mid-Atlantic Chapter, webinar details.

    For the 2026 virtual event, GPN MAC will feature speakers from both the public and private sectors who are working to strengthen ADA compliance and promote equitable access to geospatial information. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) establishes expectations for equal access in physical and digital environments, and GIS plays a vital role in advancing these goals. GIS technology supports efforts to improve accessibility for sidewalks, curb ramps, transit stops, trails, and public facilities, as well as the development of accessible web maps, dashboards, and applications that meet WCAG standards.

    Webinar is May 6th 9 AM -12 AM (EDT)
