The problem
Standard navigation ignores broken pavements, missing ramps and steps, leaving many people unable to plan a trip with confidence.
What to build
Build a route planner that uses community-mapped accessibility data and offers step-free paths, with easy reporting of new barriers.
Success looks like
Routes that avoid reported barriers in a test area, a verified contribution flow and clear freshness indicators for each report.
Suggested technologies
