Access Lexington

Access Lexington We aim to promote the inclusion and empowerment of people with disabilities in Lexington.

Access Lexington works to make our community more accessible and inclusive for all of our citizens. The Commission does this through Education (created and offers an engaging disability awareness training program), Changing Laws (changed our handicapped parking fine from $15 to $250), Supporting Organizations (supports and encourages several organizations that serve people with disabilities), and Advocating for People with Disabilities (the Commission gives a voice to people that are often unheard and forgotten).
