DOT Releases Video on The Rights of Air Travelers with Disabilities
October 30, 2023 by Heather Ansley

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) launched a public awareness campaign with a short, informative video to educate air travelers with disabilities on their rights. Air passengers with disabilities are protected under the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), which prohibits air carriers from discriminating against passengers with disabilities. In July 2022, DOT published the Airline Passengers with Disabilities Bill of Rights, which outlines passengers’ rights and protections under the ACAA.

DOT’s campaign seeks to raise awareness of air travelers with disabilities' rights to safe, dignified, and accessible air travel. DOT is partnering with airlines, airports, and disability organizations, including PVA, to promote the video. Sharing the video is encouraged using the hashtag, #AccessibleAirTravel.
