Partner Spotlight
Tetra Society recruits skilled volunteers to design and build custom assistive devices for people with disabilities when commercial products do not meet their needs. These devices can range from small adaptations for daily tasks to travel-related solutions that make transportation, packing, or mobility easier, complementing CATS grants by reducing practical barriers to the journey.
Know your Rights
Federal regulators and disability organizations publish rules and guidance that protect equal access to transportation for people with disabilities, including complaint processes if services fall short.
CATS aims to play a stronger role in lobbying public and private travel organizations, amplifying the voices of travelers with disabilities and pushing for better policies, training, and accessible infrastructure.
