Inspired by the Accessibility Mat created by Ford Brasil, which transformed the EcoSport car trunk mat into a portable wheelchair accessibility ramp. The work aims to contribute to the accessibility and mobility of the wheelchair users on the streets of the city of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil, through the development of the final conception of a prototype of a portable access ramp. The portable ramp will facilitate the mobility of users, acting as an accessibility tool. The methodology used was based on project management and the application of market research, carried out with users, where they highlighted that the biggest barrier faced daily, due to physical disability, are the sidewalks without a ramp. As a result, the final conception of the portable ramp prototype was elaborated. Support for social inclusion projects contributes to the quality of life of people with physical disabilities.
