If you are concerned about access to a facility that may have been federally funded, you can file a complaint about it. The Access Board enforces accessibility standards under the Architectural Barriers Act, the law that applies to many of these facilities. Other agencies have enforcement responsibilities for accessibility under different Federal laws, and States also have accessibility codes.
