New York State is leading a movement for accessible travel through the “Traveling with Dignity” Act, which mandates height-adjustable adult changing tables in public venues and rest stops. This legislation addresses the needs of individuals with disabilities, seniors, and veterans who require adult diaper changes while traveling. Inspired by the advocacy of CP Unlimited and others, the bill aims to foster inclusivity and make travel more accessible for millions. By 2030, New York hopes to ensure dignity and freedom in travel for all.

What are your thoughts on this new initiative? Have you encountered similar accessibility challenges while traveling?
