The transportation title of the ADA, Title II, requires public transportation systems to be accessible to people with disabilities. This means that buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation must have features such as wheelchair ramps, lifts, and securements to accommodate passengers who use mobility devices.

A sidewalk is more than a path—it’s a connection to work, school, healthcare, recreation, and community.
Missing sidewalks, broken pavement, or inaccessible curb ramps can create barriers that limit independence and safety.
Accessible communities begin with accessible pathways.
Question: Where have you noticed sidewalks or curb ramps that could be improved?

Justin Dart Jr, a member and eventually the chair of the Texas Governor’s Committee for Persons with Disabilities, is known as the Father of the ADA!
In 1981, President Reagan selected Dart to be the vice-chair of the National Council on Disability. Justin and his wife Yoshiko began a national tour collecting personal accounts of injustice and hardship of disabled persons.
These accounts became the basis of the legislation that is now known as the Americans with Disabilities Act. Thanks to Justin Dart's initiative and work, persons with disabilities can live in more inclusive and accessible communities - all over this country!
