What this tracks
This dataset records ADA-compliant pedestrian infrastructure across Tennessee, including curb ramps, crosswalks, and accessibility features like truncated dome tiles.
Why it matters to you
If you use a wheelchair or walk with mobility aids, this data tells you which intersections have properly sloped ramps (under 8.33%) and detectable warning tiles before you plan a route. Small businesses can check if their storefronts meet accessibility standards by comparing their curb ramps’ RAMP_SLOPE_PCT and TRUNCATED_DOME_PRESENCE against ADA requirements. Cities use this to prioritize repairs where ramps exceed slope limits or lack safety features.
How to read this data
FEATURE_DESCRIPTION — Type of infrastructure (e.g., “Driveway”, “Curb Ramp”).
RAMP_SLOPE_PCT — Steepness of ramps; ADA requires under 8.33% (sample: 7.7).
TRUNCATED_DOME_PRESENCE — Whether tactile warning tiles exist (2 = present).
COUNTY_NAME — Location county (sample: “Bedford”).
