This is what Dems are doing. Meanwhile, the GOP denies that the govt has a role in regulating safety.

Few people outside of disability policy circles know @shortyvoorde. But the close adviser to Pete Buttigieg has been responsible for some of the most monumental shifts for disabled travelers in a generation, @slooterman reports. 19thnews.org/2024/02/emily-…
Today at the White House, Senator Tammy Duckworth and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg held a special event to discuss the launch of a new proposed rule to protect people with disabilities when flying on airlines. AFB's Public Policy team was in attendance.
Secretary Buttigieg Announces Proposed Rule to Ensure Passengers Who Use Wheelchairs Can Fly with Dignity transportation.gov/briefing-room/…
We're honored to be at the @WhiteHouse with PVA CEO Carl Blake, @SenDuckworth, and @SecretaryPete. @USDOT proposed Air Carrier Access Act changes to better #AirTravel for wheelchair users. Comment your #JustPlaneWrong stories and feedback on the rule: regulations.gov/document/DOT-O….
I’ve seen complaints that this USDOT proposed rule doesn’t go far enough, but pls remember that other accessibility requirements (like staying in our own wheelchairs on-board✈️) are also in the works. This rule includes changes that can be implemented sooner than major redesigns!

Major progress for being announced today by the Biden Administration & @USDOT to ensure that people who use wheelchairs can travel safely & with dignity, through an expansion of passenger rights.

In addition to enhanced training, @SecretaryPete notes that the proposed rule makes clear that damaging or delaying the return of a wheelchair is automatically a violation of the ACAA, making it subject to a fine. youtube.com/watch?v=D9Y-WJ…
@SecretaryPete In this morning's presser, @SenDuckworth shared her experience traveling with a wheelchair - "This is a part of my body, if this is broken, you've broken my legs." [NPRM: regulations.gov/document/DOT-O…]
@USDOT @MDA_Advocacy @PeteButtigieg @SenDuckworth We are profoundly grateful to everyone who raised their voices for MDA’s #AccessibleAirTravel campaign for inclusion.
@USDOT @MDA_Advocacy This pivotal announcement, featuring remarks by esteemed leaders including Secretary of Transportation @PeteButtigieg, @SenDuckworth, and U.S. DOT Disability Advisor Kelly Buckland signals a profound commitment to inclusivity and progress.
Today marks a historic moment as #MDA stands witness to a groundbreaking proposal by the Biden Administration and the @USDOT, reinforcing the safety, rights, and dignity of #AirTravelers with #disabilities. mda.org/press-releases… @MDA_Advocacy
Join us TODAY @ 10:15 AM ET for a forum at the @WhiteHouse with @SecretaryPete, @SenDuckworth, and @WhiteHouseOPE46's @SteveBenjaminSC, on @USDOT's proposed Air Carrier Access Act changes. PVA CEO Carl Blake will also have the honor of attending. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=D9Y-WJ….
Sen. Duckworth mentioned the All Stations Accessibility Program: "I took that idea & worked it into the infrastructure deal. But it was really the Secretary (Buttigieg). I showed him the idea & he ran with it & has been a huge champion for the ASAP Act as part of the infra deal"

Earlier, #MDA’s @PMelmeyer & @MindyHSpeaks were honored to be at @WhiteHouse w/ @SecButtigieg, @USDOT leaders, @SenDuckworth & passionate #disability advocates to celebrate the Biden Administration’s proposed rule to improve #AccessibleAirTravel for passengers w/ disabilities.
#MDA’s @PMelmeyer spoke to @AP on the Biden Administration’s proposed rule to support #AccessibleAirTravel, launching in a public event this morning at the @WhiteHouse with @USDOT leaders & @SenDuckworth. @MDAorg is at the event - more news to come! apnews.com/article/airlin…
“The Muscular Dystrophy Association… praised the [new #USDOT] proposal. Paul Melmeyer, the group’s VP of public policy, highlighted provisions on training for airline workers, higher standards for on-board wheelchairs that passengers use to get to the lavatory, [& new fines…]”

A proposed rule from @USDOT would be “the biggest expansion of rights for passengers who use wheelchairs since 2008,” it says. aviationweek.com/air-transport/…
@Pasqualiba @RepCohen @SecretaryPete @SenDuckworth @USDOT Here’s the press release: transportation.gov/briefing-room/… And here’s the event announcing it, followed by an excellent Q & A with disability advocates. That part brought out a lot more details! youtube.com/live/D9Y-WJLZ3…

The boss.
Some listen, but few take action. Pete Buttigieg has done more on disability than anyone in a generation. But he doesn’t have to be the only one. These days, I coach candidates, electeds, leaders, & teams on anti-ableism, engagement strategy, & disability etiquette. Let’s chat.
We are huge fans of @shortyvoorde here at the YDA Disability Caucus! We had the honor of Emily coming to our winter meeting as our guest speaker, which drew a huge crowd and got the audience very interactive. We are so happy to see her showcased!
Not a lot of people have heard of @shortyvoorde outside disability spaces, but she’s had an outsized impact on disability policy through her longtime friendship with @SecretaryPete and @Chasten. I profiled her for @19thnews. 19thnews.org/2024/02/emily-…

If you're curious about the glimpses we have into Pete's role in the infrastructure negotiations, I wrote about it here: medium.com/@nerdypursuit/…
Someday I hope Pete writes a book about what was happening behind the scenes during these years. Clearly he was very involved in developing the infrastructure law. But we only have little glimpses into his role during the negotiations.
Today at the White House, Senator Tammy Duckworth and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg held a special event to discuss the launch of a new proposed rule to protect people with disabilities when flying on airlines. AFB's Public Policy team was in attendance.
