It May Be Possible To Make Your Elevator More Accessible
Elevators are a fundamental component of infrastructure, underpinning everyone's ability to access our taller, faster, smarter world. An individual elevator can remain in a building for generations. This means that many elevators in use today do not have the latest accessibility features and technology. This is why Otis developed the Advancing Accessibility Fact Sheet, to inform customers on ways they can work with us to improve unit accessibility throughout the life of their elevators.

CREATE: The Center for Research and Education on Accessible Technology and Experiences
Our mission is to make technology accessible and to make the world accessible through technology. Our vision is a world where people with disabilities are full participants in shaping tomorrow's world. Our researchers, educators, developers, and innovators recognize that emerging technologies can pose new barriers to people with disabilities, and that they hold promise to remove older barriers.
Through its interdisciplinary mindset, CREATE harnesses the diverse expertise necessary to realize a more just and equitable technological future, one that overcomes existing barriers and ensures new ones do not arise. CREATE also serves as a nexus for advocacy for people with disabilities at the national level; reshaping STEM education to be accessible to students with disabilities and ensuring that students who graduate with computing degrees enter the workforce fully educated in accessible technology.
We are committed to centering disabled perspectives in our work to ensure that research, innovation, and discussions draw from disabled people's experiences. This extends from our Center leadership (50% disabled) to our community partners program, which fosters collaboration between students and local, regional, and national disability-serving nonprofits and ensures our innovations meet the needs of disabled people in our communities and beyond.
