[Nfbf-l] FW: Traveling with Service Animals on Public Transportation

[Kathy Davis]

Hi NFBF Leaders,

I wanted to share the following information with you in hopes that you will
participate on the conference call pertaining to travelling with service
animals. 

Olie Cantos has been a young man whom I have admired for many years and he
has really moved up the latter of success. 

Thank you,

Kathy Davis

Hi, Kathy.  I hope you had a great weekend!

Below for your reference and for informational purposes is an email I just
received from the Interagency Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility,
an entity created by Executive Order 13330 by President George W. Bush in
February 2004, which was created for the expressed purpose of enhancing
human service transportation coordination for the 63 federal programs
collectively serving senior citizens, low-income individuals, and persons
with disabilities.  The Council is principally coordinated by the U.S.
Department of Transportation under the Federal Transit Administration, which
supports Easter Seals Project ACTION, an innovative collaborative effort to
maximize transportation options for members of the disability community in
every state.

I have decided to send this to you specifically, Kathy, because of your work
serving people who are blind or visually impaired and due to the likelihood
that you regularly interact with those using service animals.  Please feel
free to share the information below with others you know.  Thanks.

--Ollie
