This is a pretty good idea and concept, that way those who don't have a disability can have a more understanding of what they are going through. I took the survey just to see what they asked and it gave me a chance to think about public transportation and why I don't or haven't used it at least once.
"Meeting the Challenge" does some great stuff for those with a disability. They provide awareness and give a better understanding of the subject at hand. This was people in other states can take action based on what they learned from this organization. There are different projects going on that benefit the disability community. It's nice to know that there is lots going on to better our own views and that it allows us to take an action if we go for it.

I think it is a good idea that the Meeting the Challenge, Inc. is gathering information form people with disabilities on their experiences with the public transportation. In order to better understand some of the complication if any that were confronted with. I took the questionnaire to better understand what type of information would be taken. I thought it was well planned out and very simple to answer.

I believe this is a great idea, that way Americans with disabilities can be understood in the way right regardless of their disabilities. I’m glad that with this new president we have Americans with disabilities are going to get the help that they’ve needed. I also think this is a great way to promote a positive view of Americans with disabilities.

This is so awesome and such a good idea and thing to do. So many transportation vehicles don't have the equipment needed by people with disabilities. There is taxis, buses, and other public transportation that make it very difficult for a person with a disability to get on or use. Creating the Americans with Disabilities Act technical assistance materials will help take out these barriers and make public transportation much easier to use and people with disabilities will have better access to them as well.

I think its a great idea, not only is the government taking into consideration the voice of people with disabilities but are also getting broad numbers of ideas through real life experiences. They couldnt of done a better job!

Meeting the Challenge has come up with a great idea. It is better to get the ideas of people with disabilities, they are the main ones who can tell you what they would want different. I can tell you that where I live there are no accessible parking areas. We do have a small ramp, but its located on the actual parking spot. So I believe that this is a wonderful idea.

I think that this survey is a great idea. It will help people with disabilitties to voice their opinion about transportation to help them get around easier. I have seen alot of business that dont currently have any parking spots, ramps, or that do any other accomodations for pwd.

The survey that "Meeting the Challenge" provides is a very good survey because it gives them more information about how to better the public trasportation. It is great that people with disabilities can take this survey and let the "Meeting the Challenge, Inc" people know where public transportation should and could improve.

The government is listening and I am so glad that people with disabilities get the chance to now express their thoughts and opinions on how to help them instead of letting other people decide what is best for them.
I just hope that this is publicized to all people with disabilities. It's a wonderful plan! Let's keep this up!

I think its a great idea that Meeting the Challenge, Inc. is doing this survey. Collecting all the information that people with disabilities experience during transportation will create a strong insight to all the issues their are and how to fix them.

Public transportation is one of the several ways people get around. I think that it is a great idea that Meeting the Challenge, Inc. is doing a survey, collecting all the information that people with disabilities experience during their transportation. This survey will help create a strong insight to all the issues there are and create ideas on how to change and fix things.

Its good that they are doing surveys on regards the experience on transportation. ROCIO D
this is a very good thing that is being done. Survey's always show what is most needed. i as a rehab student am glad to here that something wants to be done about the transportation for people with disabilities. i am more than sure the any person with a disability is also glad. i know one thing that my grandparents struggle with going out for the reason that someone took the handicap spot etc. i hope that a change will be made soon to better accomodate people with disabilites.

Nobody knows more about public transportation that someone with a disability because they are the ones who go through such experiences. This incorporation is doing great in providing all this information so people who do not have a disability can have better knowledge and understanding on the issue. It is great what Meeting the Challenge is providing for everybody.

I think that "Meeting the Challenge" is doing a good thing by doing that survey because a lot of people do not know what it is like fore people with disabilites to try to get around. They have needs that need to be met so they can do everyday things like shop, work, or just go see their little kids play a game. I am glad that someone is taking charge in helping in this area.

I am very happy that they are trying to help people with a disability with transportation. It is always good to hear that there is more help for people with disabilities.

I think its a great idea and people with disability deserve to be treated fair. Obama is doing a great job in changing all the wrongs into a right and I feel glad.
Krystal R.
I think that this is a great idea. Who better to know the difficulties encountered with public transportation than the source themselves. I think this is a very good thing and it should be incorporated all over the U.S. Especially here in the valley. Most people here don't see any trouble with public transportation because we all have cars but we never stop to worry about the people who do not have our luxuries. I think this is a wonderful idea and we could benefit from the ideas of the people dealing with these public transportation troubles.

its a challenge like the tittle says. hope everyone agrees with this issue of providing awareness and transportation for people with disabilities.
jacklyn g.
i think this is a good idea because people with disabilities will get better transportation experiences and be able to get more help for their disability and is a great step towards better transportation for pwd...

This is a very good way to find out what PWD need and would like, since transportation is the way we all get around. This is the time to be heard and to do something about it.
Evelyn A.
You can't ever change something unless you ask, it is good for a survey to take place. It is a good way to know what is being done or not done correctly to improve the lives of PWDs
Crystal S.
It is a great idea. It makes you understand what people with disabilities deal in their everyday life with transportation. I agree with Vannessa it will be a great contribution.
Alberto
I don't think that people understand how difficult it is for people with disabilities to get around. Especially with the lack of empathy that people often show, it is great to see that the focus is on an important issue that will improve the quality of life for others.
