The National Council on Disability has updated its influential 2005 report, The Current State of Transportation For People With Disabilities in the United States. The new report, Transportation Update: Where We've Gone and What We've Learned, examines progress made since the 2005 report, describes ten years' worth of advances in the field of transportation for people with disabilities, and includes public policy recommendations to address new and persistent problems.

The report's focus is surface transportation and its findings address accessibility-related progress and problems associated with fixed route and deviation bus and rail transit (including AMTRAK), paratransit, public right of way, the enforcement of existing laws, and other issues for all modes of public transit. The report also addresses concerns with rural, coordinated, and privately funded transportation, and commercial driver license rules. Finally, the report makes recommendations to Congress and the Executive Branch designed to both improve federal collaborative efforts and close gaps in transportation access so as to benefit everyone.
