The problem
In June 2019, The Accessible Canada Act became law. The Act commits to making Canada barrier-free by Jan 2040. Today’s reality is not barrier free, and one of the biggest issues those who have mobility limitations face day-to-day is changes to their built environment.
The Solution
Cracked & tilted sidewalks, unshovelled lanes, potholes, and steep curbs—we see them all, and now you can too. We collect all this information, coupled with an exertion difficulty score collected by real people, and compile it into a map you can confidently use to plan and get around.

Testimonials
“Graphs, numbers and evidence will further advocate for those who are often overlooked when considering accessibility. This device has the opportunity to enhance the quality of life of those who experience disability and difficulty travelling.”
“Whether a sidewalk is under construction or snow hasn’t been removed, these obstacles create anxiety that further leads to isolation in fear of being caught somewhere helpless. Being warned ahead of time of these obstacles could be tremendously helpful.”
