The ADA National Network is pleased to announce a new 7 session webinar
series covering the recently released "Topic Guides on ADA Transportation".
The program is coordinated by the DBTAC-Great Lakes ADA Center and the

Guides bring together the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities

determinations, and best operational practices for ADA compliance. The Topic
Guides also draw information from many other sources.

The Topic Guides on ADA Transportation were developed by the Disability
Rights Education & Defense Fund (DREDF)(www.dredf.org) and TranSystems
Corporation (http://www.transystems.com/). The guides are available online
at http://www.dredf.org/ADAtg/index.shtml.
