[Travelandtourism] Fw: [Nfbnet-master-list] The Department ofTransportation's Air TravelAccessibility Proposal

[Peter Donahue]

Good morning Cheryl and everyone,

    Did the Cornell group doing this study ever fix their Web site so it 
would be accessible to blind visitors? If not it sounds like a deliberate 
move on their part so they could obtain the results the DOT would like to 
hear from the blind and not the truth. All the best.

Peter Donahue

TravelAccessibility Proposal


I received this via e-mail and thought it was
important enough to get out to everybody.

Subject: The Department of Transportation's Air Travel Accessibility
Proposal
We are reaching out to you because of the big
stake you have in the Department of
Transportation's (DOT) efforts to maintain the rights of travelers with
disabilities. We encourage you to join the conversation at Regulation Room
(<
http://regulationroom.org/>
http://regulationroom.org/)
  and help DOT get this new regulation right.
Regulation Room is part of Cornell University's
e-Rulemaking Initiative. DOT has proposed new regulations that
will:

·     Require airlines and airports to make
check-in kiosks accessible to travelers with disabilities; and,
·     Require airlines and travel agents to make
their websites accessible to individuals with disabilities.

Very few travelers with disabilities have
commented on this important proposal, but there
is still a little time left to comment.

Many people who would benefit from the proposal
don't realize that DOT needs to hear from people
who agree with the proposed regulations, not just those
who disagree.

WE URGE YOU TO PARTICIPATE BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT.

Best,
