Snow removal and accessibility in Massachusetts

New guidance from MOD

With winter well under way, MOD has released a new guidance page with all you need to know about snow removal and accessibility in Massachusetts, including:


  • Why accessible snow removal is important to create safer, more accessible communities, support people's safety and independence, and avoid costly lawsuits,
  • Legal obligations for municipalities, businesses, homeowners, and renters,
  • Rules for adequate snow removal, including width requirements for clear paths of travel (36 inches!),
  • What to do if you can't shovel snow because of your disability, whether you're a business owner, homeowner, or renter,
  • Accessibility violations in snow removal: Who to contact, what to say, and what to expect when getting them resolved, and
  • Best practices for snow removal and accessibility for municipalities, businesses, homeowners, renters, and drivers.


We all have a role to play in keeping our communities safe and accessible this winter. Read the guidance so you can be prepared for the next snowfall.
