The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is hosting an accessible transportation-focused crowdsourcing event, DOT’s Accessibility Strategic Plan Framework Online Dialogue. DOT is currently taking steps to ensure that America’s transportation system is accessible to all travelers. As part of this effort, DOT is implementing an accessibility strategic plan to ensure a unified vision and clear path forward to continue to remove barriers in transportation access for people with disabilities. Now through August 16, 2020, DOT is seeking to tap into the knowledge of the disability community, researchers, manufacturers, entrepreneurs, and others to provide input to its Accessibility Strategic Plan Framework’s accessibility goals. The ideas, comments, and votes submitted during the DOT’s Accessibility Strategic Plan Framework Online Dialogue will be considered when drafting the full strategic plan that will be released at the end of 2020. You may join the dialogue anytime between now and August 16 to submit your ideas or to comment and vote on ideas submitted by others.

Nearly 5 months into Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 Response, the need for advocacy is increasing. Together, we must make sure that state and federal bills include nonprofits of all sizes, carving out budget line items allocated to our work, ensuring that regulations do no put undue burdens on operations, and more. Work is happening right now on securing a designated COVID-19 state budget allocation for nonprofits. Time is of the essence.

To best tell our collective story, we are asking you to participate in this statewide COVID-19 Nonprofit Impact Survey.

RCPA is working in collaboration with The Pittsburgh Foundation, the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations (PANO), The Forbes Funds, United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania, professional organizations, human services providers, community foundations, and other funders statewide on this project.
