When the Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany made a high-level visit to Harrisburg earlier this year, it exposed a glaring deficiency in our region’s transportation resources. The chief of his political department couldn’t book a limousine or even a taxi that was wheelchair accessible.
As president of the board of the Center for Independent Living of Central PA , Portzline knows first-hand how hard it is for people with disabilities to find suitable transportation in our region. So, she made her personal van available to ensure the official could get to his meetings. That’s why CILCP has been spending the month celebrating the 32nd anniversary of the People with Disabilities Act with a tour of our region to raise awareness about the issues that still deny equality to thousands of people. CILCP has organized a celebration tour, parking its “mobile office” van at different spots in our region for the past month, with the next stop slated for Northern Dauphin County Human Services office from 10:30 a.m.-3 p.m. July 29.
The MTA observes the 31st anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act at Coney Island Yard on Mon., July 26, 2021. The latest in accessibility features of the subways, buses, and paratransit fleet were put on display.
