Also, if you have input and want to share it, I am interested in what others

AreaForum


Dear All,

                The Federal Aviation Administration is seeking advice and
input from service animal stakeholders, such as consumers and trainers,
concerning Service Animal Relief Areas (SARAs) in airport terminals. On
behalf of the National Association of Guide dog Users and the National
Federation of the Blind, Merry Schoch and I will be participating in a SARA
forum at the FAA headquarters in Washington, d.C. on Monday, March 3. In
order to best represent your ideas and needs, I would like to have your
input concerning the elements you believe should be incorporated in such a
relief area. Keep in mind that this forum is an opportunity to offer
suggestions on the ground floor before they are designed and implemented, so
it is better to put such things in place in this stage than to make changes
after the fact.

 

                We would like to hear from you about any and every detail of
this project from where the SARA should be located, what materials should be
used, and any other considerations you believe would make it most usable to
guide dog users. This is your opportunity to make a difference and all
suggestions will be presented to the FAA and its engineers. Please send all
comments, suggestions, and input to me no later than Saturday, March 1 by
4:00 p.m. You may email me at
