Washington, D.C. Platform

Below are the legislative priority areas within the District of Columbia:

  1. Improve the MetroAccess transportation program. Individuals with disabilities should have reliable and accessible means to transportation that will enable their full participation in the workforce and in community life. We will continue to advocate for improved accessible transportation.
  2. Advocate for fewer budget cuts in services to people with disabilities. We are advocating that future cuts to services offered to people with disabilities be made last.

To learn more about any of the platform areas or to get involved in our advocacy efforts, contact the Chapter at Advocacy@MSandYOU.org or (202) 296-5363.
