Hey #DisabilityTwitter...we want to increase accessibility beyond the wheelchair in short-term rentals. If you are blind/low vision, deaf/hard of hearing, or have Autism/intellectual developmental disability...what features would you need/want in a rental? Thanks! #accessibility

Regrettably this is a national issue. Lack of accessible transport around this country is appalling. Transport operators etc have had 20years to comply with standards. Yet here we are.
I support the @DRCadvocacy campaign for more accessible transport. At the current rate of roll out, fully accessible tram stops (due by the end of 2022) will not be completed until 2066. That is unacceptable. #TransportForAll #RightToRide #SpringSt
