SUMMARY:Accessibility Doesn’t Stop Indoors: Extending Access to Trails
DESCRIPTION:Join SORP for this webinar. Delve into how Connecticut developed and implemented a statewide all terrain wheelchair program across multiple state parks\, with a focus on the behind the scenes decisions that make these programs functional and sustainable. Participants will learn what needs to happen before a chair ever reaches a trail\, including procurement\, staff training\, site selection\, risk management\, reservations\, and public communication. The session emphasizes practical lessons learned that other agencies can apply when launching or expanding adaptive mobility programs in parks and green spaces. \nLearning Objectives \nUnderstand the full lifecycle of an all terrain wheelchair program from planning to daily operations\nUnderstand how to evaluate wildlife habitat\, species sensitivity\, and seasonal use when planning or expanding accessible trails and all terrain wheelchair routes\nIdentify internal policies\, staffing considerations\, and training needs required to support adaptive mobility equipment\nLearn how to select appropriate sites and trails for all terrain wheelchair use in parks\nApply lessons learned to improve program sustainability\, safety\, and visitor experience\nPresenters: \nAkiebia Hicks\, Connecticut Department of Energy and Environment
