ABOUT ROLLIN

Accessible means something different to everyone.

For one person it’s a step-free door. For another it’s a quiet corner, soft lighting, a restroom they can turn around in, or room for a stroller between the tables. A single “wheelchair accessible” label can’t answer all of that.

David Sirota started ROLLIN in 2024 after years of calling ahead for his dad, who has FSHD, a form of muscular dystrophy. Today ROLLIN scores more than 105,000 places in 16 states, feature by feature, so each person can see the details that matter to them.

THE PROBLEM

The internet treats access like a checkbox.

A venue ticks “wheelchair accessible” once and it never changes. The owner sells, the new owner adds three steps, and the box stays checked. Seventy million Americans with disabilities plan their nights around that guess.

ROLLIN replaces the checkbox with a score. Six features weighted by what decides whether you can get in, confirmed by people who’ve been there, and re-scored every time something changes.

WHERE THIS GOES

Accessibility becomes infrastructure.

Search is moving into AI assistants, and their answers are only as good as the data underneath. Today, accessibility is a blind spot in every one of them. We’re building the accessibility layer they can check, so the answer to “where can we go tonight” is right the first time.

That layer is also a developer platform. Our API and AI assistant connector let other teams build ROLLIN access data into their own products, and we keep adding developer tools so accessibility becomes something anyone can ship.

  1. 01 Signals Community reports and on-the-ground checks from the people who use these places.
  2. 02 Verification Every signal is weighted by trust, and changes are confirmed before they count.
  3. 03 The score Six features, 0 to 100, with how confident we are and when it was last checked.
  4. 04 Everywhere In the app, in Town Hall, and inside other products through our developer API and AI assistant connector.

Why ROLLIN? (“Roll-in”)

To roll in is to show up the way you are and go straight through the front door.

No calling ahead, no side entrance, no asking a stranger to help with the steps. It started as a wheelchair word, and it means the same thing with a stroller, a cane, a walker, a service dog, or a knee that has had a long week.

ROLLIN is how we help everyone arrive that way.

Common questions

What is ROLLIN?

ROLLIN is an accessibility platform that scores places on the physical features that decide whether you can get in and get around. It scores restaurants, bars, cafes and events feature by feature, so each person can see the details that matter to them. ROLLIN is built by JoinRollin Inc.

Is ROLLIN free?

Yes. The ROLLIN app is free on iPhone, and every accessibility feature is free to see. Developers also get a free API tier of 1,000 requests a month with no card on file, with paid plans for higher volume.

What does the ROLLIN accessibility score mean?

Each place gets a score from 0 to 100 across six physical features: wheelchair entry, step-free access, an accessible restroom, room to move between tables, accessible parking and an elevator where one is needed. Missing information lowers a score rather than inflating it. A ROLLIN score measures physical accessibility against ROLLIN's own published standard. It is not a legal ADA finding.

How many places does ROLLIN cover?

ROLLIN scores 105,000+ places across 16 states and 77 regions, and coverage grows as the community adds and checks places.

Does ROLLIN have an API or MCP server?

Yes. ROLLIN offers a REST API and an MCP server, so apps, maps and AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT can read accessibility scores directly. You can start on the free tier at joinrollin.com/developers.
