Developing Effective Practices for Snow Removal:
Why is it Worth all the Effort?

Ensuring safe and independent travel for people with and without disabilities can be difficult during winter weather conditions. bussnowA national standard for effective snow removal for pedestrians does not currently exist. In this webinar, presenters will discuss how snow removal, or the lack thereof, affects the independent travel of people with disabilities. Presenters will also discuss effective practices in snow removal for public transportation and for the broader community with a look at snow removal from a complete streets perspective.

To ask the presenters questions in advance or for general inquiries about the event, please contact us at webinars@easterseals.com and put “Snow Removal” in the subject line or call 800-659-6428; (TTY) 202-347-3066. Registration Deadline: December 2.

In addition, download the Fall 2013 Update information brief, Effective Snow Removal for Pathways and Transit Stops. The brief highlights a variety of innovative strategies used to improve accessible pathways and transit stops during winter weather as well as three ways that communities can effectively approach snow removal for better mobility: partnerships, policies, and the involvement of businesses and community members.

ADA Audio Conference Series Session: November 19, 2013

Title: Implementing Olmstead: The Status of Enforcement Efforts

Description: In 2009, the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division launched an aggressive effort to enforce the Supreme Court’s decision in Olmstead v. L.C., a ruling that requires states to eliminate unnecessary segregation of persons with disabilities and to ensure that persons with disabilities receive services in the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs. The Civil Rights Division has responded by working with state and local governments officials, disability rights groups and attorneys around the country, and with representatives of the Department of Health and Human Services, to fashion an effective, nationwide program to enforce the integration mandate of the Department’s regulation implementing title II of the ADA. Join this session as we hear more about these efforts including how the integration versus segregation mandate has been applied to employment.
