Rocky Mountain News [ Headline] 30 disabled activists arrested Protest at Radisson aimed at transit group gathering By LEROY WILLIAMS JR. Rocky Mountain News Staff Writer Police yesterday arrested about 30 disabled activists who disrupted a national transportation conference at the Radisson Hotel in downtown Denver by blocking the hotel's front doors with wheelchairs. The midmorning protest by members of ADAPT, American Disabled tor Access to Public Transit, came on the opening day of a symposium sponsored by the U.S. Urban Mass Transportation Administration. Protesters chanted, sang and cheered as a half-dozen Denver police officers carried off the protesters, about 27 of them in wheelchairs, in specially equipped vans. The job was made more difficult for police by protesters who wheeled in front of the vans to block them. And officers used wire cutters to free three protesters who chained themselves to railings. Police Capt. Roger Kaspers said the arrested were cited for obstruction of access to a business and a public sidewalk. He said they were not jailed. ADAPT’s national strategy of blocking bus companies and public transit operations that lack equipment for the handicapped is not new. But members said it was the first time they had protested against UMTA. At issue is an appeal by the U.S. Department of Transportation, of which UMTA is a part, of a federal court ruling requiring all public transit agencies to equip their buses with wheelchair lifts. The order was theresult of a lawsuit brought by ADAPT. "We view that (appeal) as a hostile action" said ADAPT activist Maureen O'Rourke, who said the process would be delayed by four or five years. "We are tired of winning lawsuits and never getting them implemented." In an interview later yesterday, outgoing UMTA administrator Alfred A. DelliBovi defended the appeal, saying the agency prefers to leave transit agencies’ decisions on equipment for the handicapped to local agencies. DelliBovi lauded Denver's Regional Transportation‘ District, which has so far awarded $40 million in bus operations contracts, as a pace-setter in that area. He also said one of his last acts — or his successor's first -- will be to sign over about $65 million to help pay for construction of a busway along Interstate 25 north of Denver. DeliiBovi, who is soon to become undersecretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, repeated the theme of his keynote address and of the symposium: Dwindling federal resources means local transit agencies must figure out ways to save money by involving the private sector. The symposium ends today.
