What this tracks
This dataset records the location and accessibility features of curb ramps across Tennessee, including slope measurements, width, and truncated dome presence.
Why it matters to you
If you use a wheelchair, walk with a cane, or push a stroller, this data tells you whether a specific curb ramp meets ADA standards before you plan a route. Parents can check if ramps near schools have proper tactile domes for safe crossings. Small businesses can verify if their storefront’s curb cuts comply with accessibility laws to avoid fines.
How to read this data
RAMP_SLOPE_PCT — The incline of the ramp (7.7% in the sample), where values under 8.3% meet ADA standards.
TRUNCATED_DOME_PRESENCE — Indicates tactile warning surfaces (value “2” in the sample means absent).
FEATURE_DESCRIPTION — Describes the ramp’s context like “Driveway” or crosswalk connection.
LOCATION_DESCRIPTION — Positions the ramp relative to the road (“Right” in the sample).
