Notes about physical inclusion

Any additional information about physical accessibility you feel would be helpful to people with disabilities and their families
The Inside of the Fitness Center is very accessible and the staff are able to make accommodations to meet various needs. However, to get to the fitness center might be difficult for some people- especially for those who do not drive/ have access to a vehicle since the closest bus stop is so far away. There is a gadabout service in Ithaca in which families/individuals can request transportation. Gadabout would most definitely be able to drop people off and pick them up at the Fitness Center in order to overcome the potential transportation barrier.
