Austin is the capital of Texas and known for its lively music scene, rich cultural heritage, and outdoor attractions.  Over the past several years, more major events, such as SXSW (South by Southwest), have been held in Austin creating a focus on accessibility for people with disabilities.  Each time I’ve been to Austin it was for a national conference with hundreds of people with disabilities attending. 

Austin is accessible

Accessibility continues to improve and so does Austin’s popularity of being a great place to live.  I found options for accessible taxis, including zTrip.  I recommend downloading the zTrip app for easier and quicker transactions. You’ll also find plenty of hotels with accessible rooms and many accessible venues for live music, including Emo’s Austin and The Continental Club.  When visiting Austin, you’ll also find accessible trails, museums, and parks if you need a break from the live music scene.  I love Austin and I look forward to visiting again soon.
