Ohio to Install Universal Changing Tables at Rest Stops Statewide Over Next Two Years

Universal changing tables play an important role in accessibility.

In the past year, more than 130 universal changing tables have been added to communities, making more events and attractions accessible to people with disabilities and their families.

The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities stated that Ohio plans to add universal changing tables at rest stops across the state over the next two years.

In January of this year, Governor Dewine unveiled the first of 29 planned universal changing stations at Ohio rest areas. “Our hope is that these universal changing stations and others we will be installing across the state will encourage new possibilities for people with disabilities, their families, and caregivers as they travel Ohio,” said Governor Mike DeWine. “By adding this valuable resource to more of our rest areas, we are increasing inclusion and accessibility for everyone to be able to fully experience all that Ohio has to offer.”
