The E-Accountability Foundation announces the

'A for Accountability' Award

to those who are willing to whistleblow unjust, misleading, or false actions and claims of the politico-educational complex in order to bring about educational reform in favor of children of all races, intellectual ability and economic status. They ask questions that need to be asked, such as "where is the money?" and "Why does it have to be this way?" and they never give up. These people have withstood adversity and have held those who seem not to believe in honesty, integrity and compassion accountable for their actions. The winners of our "A" work to expose wrong-doing not for themselves, but for others - total strangers - for the "Greater Good"of the community and, by their actions, exemplify courage and self-less passion. They are parent advocates. We salute you.

Winners of the "A":

Johnnie Mae Allen
David Possner

ALERT: The National Center for Accessible Transportation Needs Your Help in Designing a New Aisle Chair

Please Help Us!
If you are a wheelchair user we would like your input to help us design a better aisle chair.

The National Center for Accessible Transportation (NCAT) addresses the need for research and development for improving access to public transportation for all. This is a mission both timely and important due to major changes in the travel industry and the need to adapt to those changes in a way that provides safe and dignified travel for persons with disabilities. Supported by research and development funds, NCAT's most recent success was its selection last fall to host a five year, $4.975 million rehabilitation engineering research center on accessible public transportation. All primary modes of public transportation are included – intra-city and over-the-road-buses, trains, and air travel. There are common features to all modes and an important element of the center activities is the goal of identifying means to bring consistency to the accessibility features of all modes of transportation. The current focus of the center is air travel and accessibility for the new Bus-Rapid Transit (BRT) system being developed. The approach relies on specific types of expertise within the center and strong collaboration with entities external to the center.
