## Why Display Accessibility Information?

**Impacts a large percent of the population:** The World Health Organization estimates that [16% of people worldwide have a disability](https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/disability-and-health) and that people with disabilities “find inaccessible and unaffordable transportation 15 times more difficult than for those without disabilities”. Persons with disabilities also have [higher rates of acquiring new health conditions](https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240063600), partially due to reduced access to care and services.

### Adding Wheelchair Accessibility in GTFS

GTFS-Pathways is a component of GTFS that has the goal of providing more accurate information for riders about transit stations. GTFS-Pathways allows a rider to view a possible trip and understand whether they will be able to make a required transfer at a transit station. This information is currently considered recommended but not required within the GTFS spec, but this could change in the future.

GTFS-Pathways adds the files `pathways.txt` and `levels.txt` as well as adding the `location_type` field in `stops.txt` to link together information described in pathways.txt
