Help NDRN Improve Air Travel for People with Disabilities!

Damaged wheelchairs. Inaccessible services. Even physical injuries. These are all common complaints from people with disabilities who travel by plane.

The Prioritizing Accountability and Accessibility for Aviation Consumers Act would increase transparency about how quickly, effectively, and efficiently consumer complaints related to traveling with a disability are received, addressed, and resolved by the Department of Transportation. We need your help to get it passed.
