he researchers note that other criteria will need to be scrutinized as well, such as accessibility of the physical environment, technology and communication. Measures of access in the “built environment” might look at things such as the number of curb cuts, which allow wheelchair access, and intersections with audible crosswalk signals in a particular geographic area.
