The first meeting of the ACAA
Advisory Committee was held on March 10 and 11, 2020, in Washington, DC.
The purpose of the first meeting was to gather information on the barriers encountered by passengers with disabilities in the following areas:
Ticketing; pre-flight seat assignments;
access to bulkhead seating; stowage of assistive devices; and guide and wheelchair assistance at airports and on aircraft. In each of these areas, the ACAA Advisory Committee heard from speakers who provided an overview of:
The applicable rules, requirements, and complaint data; challenges faced by air travelers with disabilities; and airlines policies and procedures. In addition, the Department presented a working draft of the Airline Passenger with Disabilities Bill of Rights to the ACAA Advisory Committee for discussion.
At that first meeting, the ACAA
Advisory Committee also discussed the benefits of establishing subcommittees to help the Committee with its work.
Soon thereafter the Department established three subcommittees to address: 1 Ticketing practices and seating accommodations; 2 stowage of assistive devices; and 3 assistance at airports and on aircraft and related training of carrier personnel and contractors. The Subcommittees submitted reports with recommendations to the ACAA
Advisory Committee members for their consideration. The reports are available for public review on the ACAA
Advisory Committees docket, DOT
OST20180204.

The Department is committed to providing equal access to this meeting for all participants. If you need alternative formats or services because of a disability, such as sign language interpreter or other ancillary aids, please contact the person listed in the
