How would I symbolize approximately 70 categories on a map? This is for citizen reported issues (311). I'm thinking of combining similar categories together, but the previous map still had 15 categories and was not ADA compliant due to the icons used.

This is a huge topic impacting most people. Lots of research, learning, and effort will be necessary. Have you checked out the esri resources on accessibility for insight? https://www.esri.com/en-us/accessibility/resources 

For your case, is there any way you can distill the 70 categories to 5 major topics for color control, then use object rotation and perhaps interior hatching to break things down further.
