Accessibility on the Move

Also known as: Mobile Accessibility, Accessibility in Transit

A conceptual framing that recognizes accessibility as a continuous, context-dependent process that must be renegotiated when a person moves between different physical, cultural, social, and technical infrastructures. Unlike static accessibility assessments tied to a single location, accessibility on the move accounts for how travel, relocation, and migration disrupt established access strategies and support networks. This concept highlights the need for portable accessibility information, cross-border disability recognition, and digital tools that help disabled people navigate unfamiliar environments.
