  • All Aboard (Except People with Disabilities): Amtrak's 23 Years of ADA Compliance Failure
    All Aboard (Except People with Disabilities) Amtrak’s 23 Years of ADA Compliance Failure October 2013 www.ndrn.org NDRN is the nonprofit membership organization for the federally mandated Protection and Advocacy (P&A) Systems and Client Assistance Programs (CAP). Collectively, the P&A/CAP network is the largest provider of legally based advocacy services to people with disabilities in the United States. Cover photo courtesy of the Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program Page | 2 National Disability Rights Network www.ndrn.org A Letter from the Executive Director Dear Friends, Transportation is the linchpin of community integration. Without it, many people with disabilities cannot go to work, go shopping, visit their friends and family, or accomplish many of the day-to- day tasks necessary to live in the community. Unfortunately, progress in providing accessible transportation has been slow and has required legislation and tireless and consistent advocacy. Critical pieces of federal legislation such as the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Air Carrier Access Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, were necessary to start the process of breaking down the barriers to buses, trains and airplanes so that people with disabilities could use these sources of transportation daily. While many transportation providers around the country have shown that it is possible to provide accessible services for people with disabilities, one carrier – the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, or Amtrak – has lagged far behind. People with disabilities who travel on Amtrak have faced numerous barriers to using Amtrak. Some have faced inaccessible trains, others have been unable to purchase tickets to their destinations because the platforms and stations were inaccessible, and some have had to disembark at a station that was not their ultimate destination just so they could get off the train or out of the station.

  • South Dakota State Historical Society Markers
    South Dakota State Historical Society Markers Compiled by C.B. Nelson The official South Dakota State Historical Society (SDSHS) marker program began in 1950. State Historian Doane Robinson created the program to erect markers at significant historical locations across the state. At this time, the SDSHS was a public organization and not an official part of state government. Contributions from the SDSHS funded the first markers. Robinson and interested members of the SDSHS identified potential sites and then raised money for the markers. Interested members contributed money both for specific markers and also for those to be purchased at Robinson’s discretion. Funding for these early markers was often a cooperative effort between the SDSHS and interested groups. The Department of Transportation, through its Publicity Division (forerunner of the Department of Tourism), often contributed to the erection of these markers along state highways. State Historian Will Robinson (son of Doane) continued the program reaching out to many local historical societies and civic groups who raised money to purchase markers in their communities. When the SDSHS became a part of state government, the program continued to purchase markers through donations. The marker program has always, and continues to be, primarily funded through private donations with very limited state funds expended on the program. NOTES ON THE MARKERS The marker texts presented below are how they appear on the markers themselves – errors, bad grammar, cultural insensitivities and various spellings included. * Indicates marker information not available when compiled Most recent revision – April 2017 1 Table of Contents 100th Meridian, 86 Bon Homme Church, Directional* 100th Meridian Map Marker, 197 Bon Homme, First School, 13 1900 Campaign Whistlestop by T.
