Liberty Resources urges people to take photos of blocked bus stops across the country to raise awareness for this safety crisis that impacts people with disabilities nationwide.

Key Points: 
  • Liberty Resources urges people to take photos of blocked bus stops across the country to raise awareness for this safety crisis that impacts people with disabilities nationwide.
  • As evidenced in a new video from Liberty Resources, illegal parking at bus stops makes boarding dangerous and often impossible for wheelchair users because bus operators are unable to properly deploy wheelchair access ramps to the curb if the bus cannot pull up to the curb.
  • “Blocked bus stops and curb cut areas are serious impediments to the civil rights of people with disabilities,” said Thomas H. Earle, CEO of Liberty Resources.
  • To share your blocked bus stop photo or video with Liberty Resources, email [email protected] or post on X (Twitter), Facebook, or Instagram using the hashtag #BlockedBusStop.
