Current event: #MapMyHood!
How wheelchair accessible is your neighborhood? We invite you to participate in a big crowdsourcing event from May, 20-26: You know the places in your immediate neighborhood and you can use your knowledge to help many people make their everyday lives easier – by entering on Wheelmap.org which places are accessible without steps and which are not.
Wheelmap – how it works
Wheelmap is based on the OpenStreetMap. A simple traffic light system indicates the wheelchair accessibility of a location. With a few clicks the rating can be saved by the users: Green indicates step-free access. Places marked in orange are partially accessible and places shown in red are not accessible. WCs can also be rated and photos uploaded.
Wheelmap on the go
With the free app for Android and iOS smartphones, you are always well equipped to find and rate wheelchair-accessible places on the go.

Why Wheelmap?
Accessibility info
Over 15% of the world's population has a disability. Information on accessibility is very important for this group of people and at the same time difficult to find. With Wheelmap.org we want to close the information gap on accessibility.
Responsibility for diversity
Taking a stand for diversity in society and actively promoting it is more important than ever. Wheelmap.org wants to set an example that people with different backgrounds and abilities naturally belong to it.
Equal participation
The Disability Rights Convention states that all people have a right to equal participation. At Wheelmap.org, people with and without mobility impairments can participate and awareness for accessibility in society is raised.
