The Disability Access Advisory Committee was established by the City Council to work closely with the Disability Access Office as part of San Antonio's efforts to provide accessible services and facilities for citizens with disabilities. The Advisory Committee consist of consumers with disabilities, providers of services to people with disabilities and interested San Antonio residents.

Each Council Member and the Mayor appoint a committee member. A committee member then serves a two-year term and may be reappointed for two additional terms.

The 2011 year included information sessions about home safety and modifications, emergency management, advocacy, and ADA laws and policy. There were presentations from various groups such as the San Antonio Police and Fire Departments, and Office of Emergency Management.

The meetings are held on a bi-monthly basis, on the second Monday of the month at 3:00 pm. The meeting location is at the Lion’s Field Adult Senior Center, 2809 Broadway, 78209. This location is accessible and has available parking.
