BIG UPDATE FOR NEW YORKERS!

“The passage of the Traveling with Dignity Act in both the New York State Senate and Assembly is a monumental step forward in ensuring that all New Yorkers can enjoy travel with independence, entertainment without limits, and access without barriers. We commend the New York State Legislature for advancing this important measure, especially the bill’s tireless sponsors Senator Pete Harckham and Assemblymember Chris Burdick and the many New Yorkers who advocated for its enactment. Together, we are ensuring that everyone can truly travel with dignity.”
-Joseph M. Pancari, President and CEO of Constructive Partnerships Unlimited
