ABC7 Chicago spoke exclusively to the DNC's accessibility advisor, Robin Jones, about how they're working to make the convention accessible to all.

"This convention, we have made the commitment that we want all of our delegates to sit with their delegations, which means that we needed to address the issue of how do we get people onto the floor of the United Center?" Jones said.

Jones said they're working with the airports and transit agencies to help attendees travel to the convention.

Friday also marks the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
