Accessibility

2024 marks the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) being signed into law.


An urban county of about 26 square miles located directly across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., Arlington is renowned for its commitment to careful and thoughtful community planning, its incredible array of public transportation options, and the richness of its cultural and natural resources. These themes are reflected in the attention to accessibility that visitors and residents experience throughout Arlington’s neighborhoods and businesses. Additionally, accessibility is a primary consideration for new buildings in Arlington, and a special transit accessibility sub-committee routinely looks at public transit to ensure ease of access for riders.
