Please share this wherever appropriate.

This email contains a lot of information, so please read it through in 
its entirety.

The National Federation of the Blind and the Association of Guide Dog 
Users is seeking feedback on the accessibility of the updated forms that 
the Department of Transportation has created for people to fill out when 
flying with service dogs. Please note that the airlines may or may not 
require these forms to be filled out.

If you would like to know more about the new ruling of the Department of 
Transportation and the Air Carrier Access Act which goes into effect on 
January 11, 2021, please visit this link for more information.

I have attached copies of the forms to this email, but in case they 
don't come through, they may be downloaded from the following links.
1. The training, behavior, and health form:

2. The relief form: 
https://1drv.ms/b/s!AjBY6kPd-wTf3gQbuuUsOJfJwJqe?e=on1a3Y

Please note that this is time-sensitive and we will need your feedback 
responses by 7 PM Eastern time, today, January 11, 2021. Also, we are 
currently only seeking feedback on the accessibility of the forms 
themselves. We are not seeking feedback on the wording of the forms and 
we are not seeking feedback on whether the forms should or should not be 
required by the airlines.

The feedback form to fill out today is located from this link.

If you have any questions or if you need assistance filling out this 
feedback form, please write the NAGDU board of directors at 
board at nagdu.org. You can also contact the NAGDU President, Raul 
Gallegos, at 832.554.7285 or president at nagdu.org.

If you would like to simply email your responses instead of filling out 
this feedback form, please include the information that is asked in this 
form and email it to president at nagdu.org.

The information requested in the feedback form is:
* The name of the ACAA travel form you are giving feedback on
* Which operating systems did you use when filling out the form
* Which devices did you use when filling out the form
* Any comments about the forms, including steps you took, ETC.
* Your contact information will be appreciated but is not required

Thank you.
