NCMM Higher Education & Disability

Project Introduction & Purpose

Dear Faculty:

The National Center for Mobility Management, NCMM, funded by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), seeks to understand what future transportation professionals are learning about disability, accessibility, and mobility management topics. This is not intended to be an evaluation or an assessment of what you are or are not teaching, rather, its our work to develop an understanding of what is already being done to prepare our future transportation professionals with the content they need to respond to the mobility needs of broad audiences. Thank you in advance for our feedback. For questions, please contact, Judy Shanley, Ph.D., Asst. VP, Education & Youth Transition, Easterseals and Easterseals Director, NCMM. jshanley@easterseals.com.

Project Intent: To understand what future transportation professionals are learning in preservice or graduate preparation programs regarding accessibility, disability, mobility management, and disability-related legislation and policy. We hope to use what we learn to develop support materials for faculty to include in their teaching programs.

We are also interested in learning about the strategies your university uses to recruit and retain students with disabilities into your preparation program.

Project Outcome: To identify content and resources that can be shared with higher education programs to facilitate their focus on disability and accessibility topics for future transportation professionals.

Please provide your feedback by January 14th, 2021.
