Mayor’s Council on Disability Issues Accessibility Checklist

Ask yourself, if you could afford everyone the opportunity to benefit from your business and services, would you? What if you were missing out on 13.5% of sales? During the 2018 census, it was reported that 13.5% of Knoxville Metropolitan Area residents reported at least one disability, and that number is growing every day! What if you could be a part of a movement bigger than yourself, such as striving to become one of the largest Disability Friendly Cities in the country? Would you participate? 

If you answered “Yes” to the call, then the Knoxville Mayor’s Council on Disability Issues (CODI) wants to speak to YOU! By participating in a short voluntary CODI Accessibility Checklist, you will gain helpful information you may not have thought of that can help you attract additional consumers you were not reaching. When a business or establishment successfully completes the Disability Friendly Accessibility Standards Checklist, they will receive a window cling that reads, “This Business is Disability Friendly” and be listed on the City of Knoxville’s CODI webpage.   

So, what are you waiting for? Join us in our efforts in transforming our community into the most Disability Friendly City in the country! For more information you can visit the CODI Website at www.KnoxvilleTN.gov/CODI, or contact Misha Dziubak at 865-215-2423 or [email protected]
