Welcome to Accessible Rhode Island!
If you are interested in registering your business on our site or need to update your current business information, then please fill out the form here.
Accessible Rhode Island was established in 2001 to survey and recognize local businesses that are accessible to persons with disabilities. Since the inception of the program, over 1,200 venues in Rhode Island have been visited and surveyed to determine accessibility.
This site is a resource guide that lists restaurants, museums, cinemas, cultural sites, and more in Rhode Island that have been surveyed according to the guidelines for identifying accessibility, as outlined in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
Please note that COVID 19 has created great turmoil for many of the venues listed on this website. We are in the process of updating the information as best as we can. In the meantime, we ask that you contact any venue ahead of going to it to confirm any changes in accommodations that you may need to know. Stay Safe!
