In 2017 AccessNow mapped over 40km of the Pan Am Path using a combination of a customized all-terrain Icon wheelchair and a Google Trekker unit. This work was featured on Metro Morning, CBC News, in The Toronto Star, and on the front page of Metro News.

The project was originally conceptualized by Maayan Ziv and Devon Ostrom in 2016-2017 while attempting to address the accessibility of the Pan Am Path. The full team also included Kayla Greenberg, Jeff Adams, Anthony Lue, Alex DeSousa, ICON Wheelchairs, Google, Justin Peterson, Sam Motala, Pan Am Path, Doug Bennet, Leonard Zhao, Nicole Chin & Brett Thompson.
