Availability, accessibility, and functionality of public restrooms in the City of St. Louis, Missouri

Availability of public restrooms is a key concern in St. Louis - limited both by physical availability and hours of operation. When restrooms are available, however, they tend to be physically accessible and functional, while infrastructure to help maintain menstrual hygiene is more limited. Local government needs to invest in increasing the availability of public restrooms for those in need.

Abstract

Availability of public restrooms is a key concern in St. Louis - limited both by physical availability and hours of operation. When restrooms are available, however, they tend to be physically accessible and functional, while infrastructure to help maintain menstrual hygiene is more limited. Local government needs to invest in increasing the availability of public restrooms for those in need.
