Lubbock has 9 city bus routes and 9 Texas Tech routes. All reportedly with full accessible lifts. Separate on demand accessible transit 15.5 hours per day, 6 week. Nights and weekend service. May not seem like a lot if you are from a transit rich place but it is good compared to a lot of not that big places in west / south. If you need transit, you should pick a spot on a route. Typical cities (without deep transit history) are not generally going to serve every residential area, only the ones with the highest likelihood of riders. Mostly the lower income areas and probably only some of them.
Lubbock is not predominantly progressive but has enough to not be totally isolated. The more progressive hub of West Texas.
Interior Northeastern cities/areas would work outside of weather.
I've never experienced that type of weather but it may be doable. A larger concern is accessibility, seems a the lot of cities have older buildings and infrastructure that aren't super wheelchair friendly. A lot of stairs, narrow hallways/doorways, poorly maintained lifts, etc. Are there any you recommend?

Some buildings are now up to standard. So, it may be a matter of checking if a building you are interested in is suitable for you.
To be honest, you could take your pick between the cities in western MA, Upstate NY and much/most of the cities in PA. With the latter state, the weather would be more in line with what you are looking for.
The Albuquerque/Rio Rancho area would meet most of the requirements, but the COVID precautions are hit and miss. The same with public transportation and wheelchair access. You see people on bikes. The climate is near perfect four-seasons, but it is higher elevation, and some people have an issue with that and the very low (single-digit) humidity.
SunGrins - hadn't considered Albuquerque but will add to the list too.
