Visit California's Accessibility Hub is a comprehensive digital platform that aims to improve travel experiences for individuals with disabilities. The resource offers practical resources, expert advice, and engaging multimedia content.
Visit California's Accessibility Hub was developed in collaboration with Sophie Morgan, a prominent disability advocate and television presenter. The platform also includes Joy Diversion, a three-part travel series highlighting accessible road trips across California’s diverse landscapes — from coastal towns to wine country.
The Accessibility Hub initiative underscores the state’s commitment to inclusivity. Travelers, on the other hand, gain access to reliable information on barrier-free attractions, accommodations, and activities. This resource is particularly relevant as California prepares to host major international events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Paralympic Games.
