Port of Long Beach accessibility and community engagement
Long Beach
Summary
The Port presented its free ADA-accessible harbor tours, $65 million community grants program, and sponsorships requiring ADA compliance. Commissioners pushed the port to go beyond minimum ADA standards — scooter users have gotten stuck in narrow boat areas and narration is hard to hear — and the port agreed to take the feedback to its team.
