Wade Henderson, President and CEO of The Leadership Conference and the Joseph L. Rauh, Jr. Chair of Public Interest Law, is quoted in The Paramus Post on a new report by The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and The Leadership Conference Education Fund, documenting the lack of funding, enforcement, and oversight of transportation programs that allow people with disabilities the opportunity to participate fully in community life.
"This report underscores how much the civil rights community has at stake in the transportation debate,” said Wade Henderson. "Because of inadequate funding and enforcement, countless people with disabilities can’t reliably vote, work, attend medical appointments, or enjoy full independence.”
