With high staff turnover costing provider agencies $100.5M per year, NYS I/DD community is in crisis. @GovKathyHochul we’re counting on you to take action & include investments for the I/DD service sector in the upcoming Exec Budget #IDDPriority #carecantwait @NYDisabilityAdv

[Erie County Clerk Mickey Kearns @ErieCountyClerk]

On July 26, the 32nd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), leaders of Buffalo’s disability community held a news conference and called on their city to respect their rights under federal law. #WBFO #NPR https://t.co/pFA84zrd14

[Metro Bus & Rail @NFTAMetro]

Update: Paratransit service has not been suspended, we are asking riders to reschedule if possible. NFTA-Metro will continue to monitor the situation and update any changes via social media and on Metro’s website: https://t.co/rJgxqSFc7E.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced today that effective immediately, masks are no longer required to be worn in transportation systems and at airports, they are encouraged but not required. This includes the airport, trains, buses and all NFTA transportation systems.

“We’re not asking Lyft to do anything very difficult, we’re asking them to stop discriminating."

Lyft argues it's not a transportation company and has 'no obligations' to provide wheelchair access https://t.co/qQBlYTywh1 via @nbcnews

Getting to work can be a problem for some potential employees — but solving that problem can help employers find a more diverse workforce. https://t.co/irRQjNWvfy

[Disability Scoop @disabilityscoop]

As a state seeks to revoke the license of a large provider, many with #disabilities are unsure whether to wait for a final determination or find other care at a time when options are scarce. https://t.co/ntxcV3c46N

[DDAWNY Transportation Committee @DdawnyC]

An amazing representation by Stephanie who never gives up fighting for what she and so many others NEED: Truly accessible transportation in NYS!

Thank you @SenKennedy & @ErieCountyClerk for your continued support and advocacy!
