AI Summary
This bill, the Mobility aids On Board Improve Lives and Empower all Act (MOBILE Act), requires the Secretary of Transportation to issue regulations that would: 1) require airlines to publish information on the dimensions of their aircraft cargo holds, including the cargo hold entry, on their websites; and 2) offer refunds to qualified individuals with disabilities who cannot fly on their existing aircraft because their wheelchair cannot fit in the cargo hold. The bill also requires the Secretary to evaluate data on the frequency and type of mishandling of wheelchairs on aircraft, determine if there are issues, and review and report on any claims of fraud. Additionally, the bill directs the Secretary to develop a strategic roadmap for research on accommodating passengers who use wheelchairs in the main cabin, and to conduct a study on the economic and financial feasibility of such seating arrangements.
