Subject: The Department of Transportation's Air Travel
Accessibility Proposal

We are reaching out to you because of the big 
stake you have in the Department of 
Transportation's (DOT) efforts to maintain the rights
of travelers with
disabilities. We encourage you to join the conversation
at Regulation Room (<
http://regulationroom.org/>
http://regulationroom.org/)
  and help DOT get this new regulation right. 
Regulation Room is part of Cornell University's 
e-Rulemaking Initiative. DOT has proposed new
regulations that
will:

.     Require airlines and airports to make 
check-in kiosks accessible to travelers with
disabilities; and,
.     Require airlines and travel agents to make 
their websites accessible to individuals with
disabilities.

Very few travelers with disabilities have 
commented on this important proposal, but there 
is still a little time left to comment.

Many people who would benefit from the proposal 
don't realize that DOT needs to hear from people 
who agree with the proposed regulations, not just those
who disagree.

WE URGE YOU TO PARTICIPATE BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT.

Best,
