“Accessibility for all people in all places is not only mandated by federal law, but it is the correct way to treat one another,” said Pete Patel, Chief Executive Officer of CP&Y. “Our organization prides itself on achieving great results for our clients within each industry we serve. The merger with MTC will allow CP&Y to leverage MTC’s industry-leading accessibility technology, thought leadership, and specialized ADA services. We would like to welcome everyone from MTC to the CP&Y family and look forward to years of important work as we strive to make America’s roads, structures and public facilities accessible for each citizen.”
As part of the merger agreement, MTC will remain based in Colorado Springs in addition to CP&Y’s current office in the city. The two firms will work together to expand accessibility consulting services and MTC will continue to offer services to its current client base and new client relationships.
“Today marks a significant step forward in our company’s ongoing strategy to accelerate our vision of creating a more accessible world for everyone,” said Kent Kelley, President of Meeting the Challenge, Inc., A CP&Y Company. “The combination of our companies brings together a broader suite of accessibility services to CP&Y clients and provides MTC direct access to CP&Y’s deep pool of industry experts, resources, and clients.”
