Personal mobility in the built environment has been extensively explored by multiple fields of study, but practitioners are still uncertain what information to collect to close informational gaps and knowledge barriers to facilitate route-finding and navigation, particularly for people with disabilities. This project thus aimed to provide a framework for accessibility-first map data collection aimed at defining good attributes to collect via crowdsourcing real-time information, applied specifically to college campuses as a case study.
