The NAD is committed to ensuring equal access to transportation services, including equal access to information and communication related to those services. Towards that effort, the NAD consults with and provides assistance to federal agencies, state and local governments, and private businesses to improve access to transportation services.</p> <p>The NAD continues to advocate for:</p> <ul> <li>Rescission of the Department of Transportation rule 49 C.F.R. § 391.41(b)(11), establishing <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160107155055/http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/title49/section/391.41">hearing requirements for interstate commercial drivers’ licenses</a>. This rule effectively bars many qualified deaf and hard of hearing individuals from certain types of employment.</li> <li>Modification of Air Carrier Access Act rules requiring deaf and hard of hearing individuals to self-identify in order to receive accessible information. Self-identification is not an effective means of obtaining accessible information, because information is provided in multiple locations by different people. Instead, all audible information should be routinely made accessible visually.</li> <li>Require all transportation systems (airline, train, bus, subway, etc.) to make all audible information accessible by providing the same information in a visual (text) format.</li> <li>Enforcement of existing accessibility rules.<br/> </li> </ul> <p>The NAD is also committed to ensuring equal access to public accommodations used when travelling, such as hotel and motel services and facilities.</p> <p><strong>Related Issue</strong>: <a href="/web/20160107155055/https://nad.org/issues/civil-rights">Civil Rights Laws</a></p> <div id="recent"> <h4>Recent NAD Action Highlights</h4> <ul> <li>Participated in meeting with and submitted written comments to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) in response to its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to provide input on passenger vessel access for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.</li> <li>Attended the U.S. Department of Transportation forum on the new Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) rules.</li> <li>Met with U.S. Department of Transportation representatives to convey dismay about the Air Carrier Access Act rules and advocate for improved access for deaf and hard of hearing passengers.</li> <li>Participated in U.S. Access Board's Passenger Vessel Emergency Alarms Advisory (PVEAA) Committee meeting and submitted recommendations to the Access Board for the purpose of rulemaking.</li> <li>Participated in roundtable discussion with members of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on NAD transportation priorities.</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="grid_4"> <div class="box sidebar"> <div class="block" id="sublink"> <div id="sidebar-right" class="side-column region grid-3"> <div class="article"> <div id="block-block-2" class="clear-block block block-block"> <div class="content"><div class="first article"><h3>Learn More</h3><ul><li><a href="/web/20160107155055/https://nad.org/issues/transportation-and-travel/air-travel">Air Travel</a></li><li><a href="/web/20160107155055/https://nad.org/issues/transportation-and-travel/hotels-and-motels">Hotels and Motels</a></li></ul></div><div class="article"><h3>Get Involved</h3><ul><li>When air travel communication or information is not accessible, file a complaint.</li><li>When a hotel or motel does not provide communication access, file a complaint.</li></ul></div></div> </div> <div id="block-views-rotor-block_1" class="clear-block block block-views"> <div class="content"><div class="view view-rotor view-id-rotor view-display-id-block_1 view-dom-id-1"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="rotor" id="rotor-view-id-rotor-view-display-id-block_1"> <div class="rotor-items" style=" width: 210px;
