Request for Information (RFI) for the Inclusive Design Challenge

The Department of Transportation is seeking input on a proposed inclusive design challenge to enable access to automated vehicles (AVs) for persons with disabilities. The Challenge will solicit solutions addressing obstacles faced by persons with physical, sensory, and/or cognitive disabilities who may ride in or operate AVs. The goal of the Challenge is to inspire inclusive designs as AVs are developed, which may also increase access to conventional vehicles today. Comments may be submitted via email or online at regulations.gov. Comments must be submitted by January 31st.
