Disability Access to Transportation Act
Summary
The Disability Access to Transportation Act aims to make public transit more reliable and accessible for people with disabilities by addressing common barriers in the current system. The bill would establish a "one-stop" pilot program to reduce long wait times for paratransit users and require the Department of Transportation to set national accessibility standards for sidewalks and shared paths. Additionally, it simplifies the process for citizens to report accessibility issues and requires transit agencies to be more transparent about how they handle disability-related complaints.
