Dear All,<br><br>
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.<br><br>
<br><br>
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<br><br>
