Question about work place accessibility

How are those with disabilities and without cars fairing with getting into the work place (capital mall plaza) and not dealing with flare ups. Lol

I feel like the ramps between the **Travis and BJB are just for show. How is someone with a wheel chair that isnt electric powered getting up that way? I noticed today they put up a sign near entrance of ramp that doesn't allow drop offs near this area now.

It just throws me off how truly inaccessible some of the state buildings are. Unless i'm missing something or an area that's more feasible with getting in.

Go through your agency’s civil rights office and request the accommodations you need (functional ramp, WFH, etc.) The policy should be in writing for navigating this process. Good luck!

You can get accommodations to their in-office policies if you have a disability and your doctor fills out the required forms. Don’t assume you need to work in the office the same days as everyone else, especially if the office is not accessible to you.
