The FTA's $26M Accessibility Research Bet: Who Gets a Seat at the Table?!

The FTA's FY 2026 Bus Safety, Accessibility, and Innovation Research Program opens a rare federal funding window. The question is whether disabled transit riders will shape it.

IACC's $747M Autism Plan Has an Accessibility Problem

The federal government's sweeping new autism strategic plan nearly doubles funding and runs 330 pages. But advocates say the public couldn't meaningfully participate — and that's a structural failure.

85% Unemployment Isn't Inevitable: What Techtonic Gets Right

The unemployment rate for adults with autism isn't a market failure. It's a design failure — and a Florida nonprofit is proving that intentional design changes everything.

What Wheelchair Hikers Teach Us About Accessible Trail Design

The most revealing accessibility audits don't happen in conference rooms. They happen on muddy trails in West Linn, Oregon, where a front-heavy motorized wheelchair meets an uneven dirt path and the user has to make a split-second engineering decision.

Co-Design Stalls in Operations, Not Just in Leadership Suites

Sequencing Is Strategy: When Capacity-Building Comes First

Not every delay is avoidance. Conflating strategic sequencing with deferred engagement produces bad implementation advice for practitioners building real language access infrastructure.

The Co-Design Readiness Gap Is a Leadership Problem, Not a Capacity One
