From: Regulation Room [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2011 10:39 AM To: Regulation Room Subject: New Accessibility Rule on Regulation Room Good morning, We are reaching out to you because of your past participation in the Department of Transportation's (DOT) efforts to maintain the rights of travelers with disabilities. Come join the conversation at Regulation Room, DOT's Cornell University partner and open-government Flagship 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. Come learn about the proposal and lend your voice to the rulemaking process at http://regulationroom.org/. Contributions to the Regulation Room site will become part of a formal public comment that DOT will take into consideration before a final decision is made. We encourage you to share this site with anyone else who may be interested in these proposals. It is our hope that as many people who want to participate in the rulemaking process can. Help DOT get this new regulation right. Our priority is to make Regulation Room accessible to as many users as possible. So, we are working hard to make sure that our website meets the leading edge of accessibility compliance. However, we know that users may experience our site in different ways. If you cannot access our content or submit a comment, please email us at [email protected] or call us at 607-255-8783 and we will help you in whatever way we can. Regards, The Regulation Room Team -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the Chat list, send an email message to: [email protected] with the word, unsubscribe in the subject line.
