ADAPT
Accessibility & Disability Awareness Training for Transportation Professionals

Training for Transportation Professionals

We work hard to make transportation safe and efficient for everyone in the community. However, often transportation professionals are unsure how to best serve individuals with disabilities and accessibility supportive needs.

ADAPT provides disability awareness education in addition to interviews and insights from individuals with disabilities on their transportation experiences.  

This online training program is designed to provide a base layer of insight and information for professionals in the transportation industry ranging from senior management to drivers and everyone in between.  

The design and development of the training was made possible with support from the Michigan Department of Transportation in partnership with The Ride Public Transit Agency in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
