It took six years to get Sacramento International Airport to agree to what one disabled airport user and many other disability advocates wanted—an emergency plan that included how to evacuate and assist people with disabilities in case of a disaster. A new protocol is finally in place (but don’t count on finding out what the bleeptastic transportation officials were thinking when they approved the original one). The case was settled.
Sacramento airport also wisely decided to give employees training on how to identify and assist disabled people. Finally, Sacramento’s Terminal B has a ‘Plan B’ that is a model of compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA).
