USA Today - Airplane lavatory article quoting PVA
Today an airplane lavatory article by Jayme Fraser published on the USA Today Network project site and 200+ local news sites so far: https://stories.usatodaynetwork.com/flying-while-disabled/bathroom-accessibility/. This article is also expected to be in USA Today's print edition and website sometime this week.
It is a great article framing the issue and references PVA throughout. The article also quotes Heather Ansley, PVA Government Relations Associate Executive Director, and Tom Wheaton, PVA National Treasurer. It mentions our organization's history advocating to make restrooms on airplanes more accessible for people with disabilities.
This is the result of Heather Ansley and Dana Kaufmann (PVA Communications) having multiple phone calls, follow up emails and an in-person meeting with the reporter. The result was well worth it.
