Are you frustrated when you fly because you find a few movies or TV shows that are captioned? Also, having no idea what is being said during the PA announcements? So many of us share the same stories about our frustrations with these problems when we fly on planes. That’s not equal access. And it’s disappointing that the US Department of Transportation (DOT) and airlines still have not made improvements in decades. HOWEVER! There’s now a new bill that will fix this, the Air Carrier Access Amendments Act. This bill would require the Dept. of Transportation to develop rules that will require 100% captioned videos as well as accessible PA announcements on planes. How can you help? Ask your senators and representatives to support this bill. We have template letters you can download from our website and edit the letter to best show what you want to tell your legislators. Deaf travelers deserve equal access when we fly!]
