Travelers with Disabilities Advisory Committee: Journey to Equitable Access Webinar by Andrew Palmberg and Phil Burke

The Travelers with Disabilities Advisory Committee (TDAC) is composed of volunteer representatives from local Minnesota disability organizations as well as representatives from the Metropolitan Airport Committee (operator of MSP Airport) and airport users.

TDAC is used to gather and construct feedback to improve accessibility at MSP airport and to become the most accessible airport in North America and the world. TDAC was founded in 2014 and huge progress has been made since then.

Phil and Andrew's presentation will cover and recap the progress in accessibility that has been made so far. They will also present about TDAC history and how TDAC has improved accessibility at MSP airport for our Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing community.

There will be time at the end for questions.
