DisabilityInfo.gov (www.DisabilityInfo.gov) is a federal Web site designed to offer people with disabilities and many others access to the information and resources they need to live full and independent lives in the workplace and in their communities. Managed by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) (www.dol.gov/odep), DisabilityInfo.gov offers a broad range of valuable information, not only for people with disabilities, but also their family members, employers, service providers and many others.

Easy to navigate, DisabilityInfo.gov is organized by subject areas that include benefits, civil rights, community life, education, employment, health, housing, technology and transportation. In particular, the Web site's Transportation section links to information on accessible transportation systems, community transportation initiatives and federal laws and regulations to improve the access and availability of bus, rail and air travel.

With 22 federal agencies contributing content to this Web site, including the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), DisabilityInfo.gov contains extensive, frequently updated information on a host of cross-cutting topics. Information of particular interest to travelers and commuters with disabilities includes links to DOT's Accessibility Home page; information on DOT's Federal Transit Adminstration's "Project Action" program for accessibility in transit; access to public transportation trip-planning resources for people with disabilities; and links to a database of accessible transportation services throughout the United States.
