SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Transportation has introduced a new regulation requiring a change to airplane bathrooms to help people with disabilities. Heather Ansley, Chief Policy Officer of Paralyzed Veterans of America, discussed the importance of this regulation for the disabled community. The regulation will enable passengers with disabilities to take care of their basic bodily needs during air travel using accessible lavatories. Passengers in wheelchairs often have to fast or become dehydrated during flights, so this change will greatly improve their travel experience. The regulation will require airlines to provide accessible lavatories on their planes.

The U.S. Department of Transportation is now requiring a change to airplane bathrooms to help people with disabilities.
