Thousands of students cross the campus of BYU a day, but some of them cross it in a different way, on wheels. While much of the campus is easily accessible and "wheel friendly" there are buildings and areas of campus that are limited to those on foot. Our purpose is to raise awareness and gain support to better equip our campus for those with special needs.
