AXS Map was founded in 2009 by filmmaker and disability advocate Jason DaSilva after he was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis and discovered how inaccessible much of New York City was for wheelchair users. The app launched in 2012 and has since expanded into a global platform recognised by the AARP Community Challenge grant program and winner of a Gold Telly Award.
Users submit color-coded accessibility ratings for entrances, interiors, and restrooms at restaurants, shops, and public spaces. Community-run Mapathon events rally teams to systematically rate entire neighborhoods, with over 280 Mapathons held globally. The platform covers mobility, vision, and hearing accessibility dimensions in addition to wheelchair access.
People with mobility impairments, wheelchair users, and individuals with visual or hearing disabilities who want real-world, peer-reviewed accessibility ratings before visiting unfamiliar venues — particularly useful in cities hosting Mapathon events.
