Mission

The Transportation Task Force advocates for fully accessible transportation across all modes. Transportation should be affordable, equitable, sustainable, and reliable. People with disabilities should be able to travel on their own or with support. They should also be able to choose how they live in the community. The Task Force follows our Anti-Racism Principles agreed to in July 2021. (URL: https://www.c-c-d.org/fichiers/CCD-Transpo-TF-Racial-Equity-One-Pager.pdf)

The national unrest in the wake of police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Charleena Lyles, Daniel Prude, and so many other Black Americans before and since, brought into stark relief the need to change policing practices in the United States.
