Many buildings and other “public accommodations” still do not have ADA compliant handicapped-accessible ramps hence the need for portable wheelchair ramps. Even though it’s been law since 1992 that public buildings like stores and restaurants have building wheelchair ramps, many owners have yet to comply due to high costs. Buildings constructed since 1992 are usually not a problem, but older buildings often lack the space and proper architecture to successfully retrofit them without extensive work.

Johnson City TN Portable Wheelchair Ramps have made it much easier for those people with disabilities to gain access to buildings that have not yet been equipped with permanent building wheelchair ramps. No longer do the physically challenged have to wait in the car or be excluded from functions because there is no handicap accessibility to a building.
