In front of her people move suitcases from the sidewalk to a vehicle. [Headline] Access to buses is Demanded A member of a group called ADAPT, or American Disabled for Accessible Public Transportation, picks downtown Hilton Hotel where the American public Transit Association is meeting.

[Headline] A Wheelchair Protest Blocks Access to Transit Convention (AP) Photo: A man in an old style motorized wheelchair (Mike Auberger) with long hair sits a half a body length above several people standing on the ground. His mouth is open in a yell and his arms are flung wide. Caption reads: A wheelchair-bound protester is arrested and put aboard a lift-equipped van by Washington DC police. The unidentified man was among some 20 people arrested for blocking entry to the convention center where the American Public Transit Association meeting opened yesterday. Article reads: Public transit officals, opening their annual convention yesterday, were greeted with a wheelchair protests by about 100 disabled demonstrators who demanded that more be done to provide them access to buses, trains, and subways. About 20 people were arrested for breaking police lines after the protesters, linking wheelchairs blocked two entryways to the convention center where the meeting of the American Public Transit Association was under way. Jean Stewart of Poughkeepsie N.Y. who parked her wheelchair with others at the convention door, said they were trying to demonstrate that “disabled people across the country have a civil right to public transportation. As the protesters chanted outside the hall, Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole, addressing the transit officials inside said she is confident “we can meet our responsibility toward our disabled citizens” and “provide the mobility they require and deserve.” Last year the Transportation Department begin developing new regulations to allow local authorities to provide alternative transportation such as door-to-door van service- instead of modifying buses or train to accommodate the handicapped. - ADAPT (157)

[Headline] Disabled protest at Convention Center The Washington Times About 100 wheelchair-bound activists seeking greater access to public transportation yesterday broke through police barricades and blocked the main entrance to the Washington Convention Center, where the American Mass Transit Association Expo is being staged. Chanting, “Access. Access. We want access," members of the Americans Disabled for Accessible Public Transit said they were protesting the "historic resistance" mass transit systems around the country have exhibited toward the disabled, said ADAPT spokeswoman Jane Stewart of Poughkeepsie. N.Y. She was one of the demonstrators who parked her wheelchair outside the center. As the protesters shouted outside the hall, Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole, addressing transit officials inside. said she is confident “we can meet our responsibility toward our disabled citizens." The Department of Transportation last year modified its rule on how transit authorities should deal with the disabled after transit officials protested the high cost of equipping all buses and trains with handicapped lifts. Subsequently, DOT provided an option whereby transit officials can meet the requirements of the handicapped by establishing van service exclusively for the handicapped. But protesters yesterday compared the “segregation“ of mass transit today to that of schools in the era of separate-but-equal. "I am personally committed to the principle of providing excellent transit service for all the people of this region, and that includes our handicapped community," Carmen Turner, Metro transit‘s general manager, responded in a prepared statement. “For most of the handicapped, the bus and rail system provides a lifeline of mobility second to none. The Metrorail system is completely accessible to the handicapped," she said. She added that Metro has already spent $50 million on aids for the handicapped on Metrorail, and said the lifts on buses for the handicapped are “expensive to purchase and maintain. . . Our last two purchases of new buses have included lifts, and we intend to continue to increase the number of lifts in our fleet as we make new purchases. “We do feel it is better to operate the lift service we have efficiently than to expand it at great expense at some risk to reliability." — Amy Stromberg - ADAPT (176)
ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS 10-17-83 PHOTO, STAFF PHOTO BY STEVE GROER: A short white man (Mark Ball) with a big afro and tinted, round glasses stands almost hidden, behind a podium with a large RTD on the front. Behind him are rows of other people, (all men), some in suits and ties, some with long hair. Caption reads: Mark Hall [sic] of Atlantis Community addresses RTD board at public hearing on agency's budget. [Headline] Handicapped complain to RTD More than 1,000 handicapped Denver bus riders cannot visit the Boulder Mall and other distant destinations by public transportation because the buses used by the Regional Transportation District on those routes cannot accommodate their wheelchairs, representatives for the handicapped told RTD on Tuesday. "It's a very touchy subject with disabled persons who feel trapped within the metropolitan area," Mark Ball told RTD directors during a public budget hearing. The hearing was the public's chance to discuss the agency's budget before it is adopted by the directors. Only a handful of people attended the 30-minute hearing. 'You’re going to have to come up with an over-the-road bus with a (wheelchair) lift," he said. “Boulder isn't very far for you, but I wouldn't want to do it in an electric wheelchair. Half asked the board to require that all new vehicles be equipped with lifts and other features for handicapped riders. In the past year, RTD mechanics have worked to improve the design of wheelchair lifts fitted to some buses used on busy Denver routes, officials said. But RTD assistant general manager Mike Smith said "there is not a high-degree of interest" on the part of bus manufacturers to mass-produce an over-the-road vehicle with lifts, extra-wide aisles and low ground clearance suitable for handicapped riders. The sensitive subject of handicapped access to public transportation will be raised again next week when representatives of ADAPT, a handicapped-rights group, will address the national convention of the American Public Transit Association at the Denver Hilton. - ADAPT (149)
The Washington Post: AROUND THE REGION, November 1st, 1984 [Headline] Disabled Protesters Block Bus at Transit Meeting Site About 15 handicapped protesters, most of them in wheelchairs, blocked a chartered bus in front of the Washington Hilton Hotel yesterday, the site of an American Public Transit Association convention, to protest the lack of access for handicapped persons to buses nationwide. The hour-long demonstration was the second staged here in the past four days by a group called the American Disabled for the Accessible Public Transit. On Thursday, a dozen protesters stopped rush-hour traffic in front of the White House by blocking seven Metrobuses. Yesterday, the protesters encircled a charter bus that was to take about 50 spouses of conventioneers on a tour of the city, according to convention speaker Albert Engelken. He said that the bus remained in front of the hotel's T Street NW entrance for about an hour while police negotiated with demonstrators. About 2 p.m., the riders disembarked and went back into the hotel. Engelken said. He said the demonstrators dispersed soon afterward. - ADAPT (178)

The Washington Times Tuesday, October 2, 1984 PHOTO by Richard Kozak, The Washington Times: In a high contrast picture, three police men stand forming a kind of line. The center man seems to be pushing someone away and stepping over a crutch on the ground. The policeman on the left is holding a protester, an African American man, up by his shoulder and maybe his hip. The protester, Greg Dougan, looks like he is erupting through the line of officers. He hovers in mid-air grimacing, his arms extended hands almost in fists.
