Building Accessibility Into Our Communities

We’re not just solving individual accessibility problems. We’re working to improve the systems behind them.

CIAC connects people, municipalities, businesses, and organizations across Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket with the knowledge, resources, partnerships, and funding opportunities they need to create lasting accessibility improvements.

We need people, expertise, partnerships, and financial support to make it happen.

Help us build a more accessible Cape & Islands.

The repeating symbols represent the towns and communities of the Cape & Islands working together to improve accessibility for people of all abilities through regional collaboration.

Building a More Accessible Cape & Islands.

Accessibility improves when communities work together.

The Cape & Islands Accessibility Collaborative helps municipalities, people with disabilities, and community partners work together to remove barriers and move accessibility forward.
