Bill > HB05461

This bill requires the Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) to develop new policies and training programs specifically focused on improving enforcement of reserved seating rules for individuals with disabilities on public transportation. The goal of the bill is to enhance the availability and accessibility of designated seating areas for people with disabilities, ensuring they can more reliably use these reserved spaces when traveling on public transit. By mandating policy development and staff training, the legislation aims to create clearer guidelines and more consistent implementation of existing reserved seating requirements, ultimately making public transportation more accommodating and inclusive for individuals with disabilities.
