CCD Transportation Autonomous Vehicle Principles
At least 1 in 4 people in the U.S. has a disability (more than 61 million). While 99% of public buses are equipped with ramps, significant barriers to accessible, affordable transportation remain across modes. Many people with disabilities are unable to obtain a driver’s license or cannot afford to purchase both a vehicle and the retrofitted adaptations to make it accessible.

The Importance of Web Accessibility and Inclusive Design
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else to participate in activities across all areas of life. While many understand the requirements of accessibility for physical spaces, such as wheelchair ramps to enter buildings, this mandate extends to virtual spaces as well. As more and more of our daily lives are spent engaging with the Internet and other digital content, it is critical to ensure that information hosted online and in digital format (including via websites, mobile applications, online systems, and all forms of information and communication technology - ICT) remains fully accessible to people with disabilities.

Assistive Technology and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act
In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794d) to require federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology public content accessible to people with disabilities in Section 508. Inaccessible technology interferes with an individual's ability to obtain and use information quickly and easily. The requirements of Section 508 were put in place to eliminate barriers in information technology, to make available new opportunities for people with disabilities and to encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals.
