ADA Transportation Webinars

Announcing a Series of Seven Webinars

The ADA National Network and Project Action announce a series of seven webinars covering the Topic Guides on ADA Transportation. The series is being coordinated by the Great Lakes ADA Center and Southwest ADA Center (formerly DBTAC).

Funded by the Federal Transit Administration to provide technical assistance on transportation to transit agencies, riders, and advocates, the Topic Guides bring together the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Department of Transportation ADA regulations, FTA 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) and TranSystems Corporation. They are available online at http://www.dredf.org/ADAtg/ and will be presented by Marilyn Golden, DREDF Policy Analyst and invited guests to be announced.
