Fort Wayne Accessibility

Accessible by Design—for Everyone

In Fort Wayne/Allen County, we use Universal Design to plan, build, and welcome so that residents and visitors of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds can participate with confidence. Universal Design means creating places, services, and information that are usable by as many people as possible from the start; it complements, and does not replace, reasonable accommodations or assistive devices when needed.

Fort Wayne is a city for people of all abilities - below, we have provided some resources to help visitors and residents to experience our city to the fullest.
