 | John,
On July 26, 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into law. At the time, the ADA was the most sweeping affirmation of rights for disabled persons in America. Now over 30 years later, we celebrate the passage of the ADA during Disability Pride Month and honor the history, experiences, and achievements of the disability community.
As we take this time to reflect on the ADA and its significance, Voices for Public Transit is sharing how public transit contributes to accessible transportation options for individuals with disabilities. You can read more about public transit’s commitment to accessibility and inclusion in our latest blog post. |
Over the past 30 years, public transit has made great strides in improving mobility and accessibility for disabled persons in transit. Improved access to public transportation helps communities of all sizes stay connected to each other, expand educational and employment paths, and create a more equitable world.
