DETAC Webinar on Integrating Transportation Supports Into Workforce Development
Tuesday, July 14, 2026 | 3:00-4:30 p.m. ET
Throughout America's history, transportation has been a hallmark of progress by connecting people to opportunity, strengthening communities, and expanding pathways to independence. As we commemorate both the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and our nation’s 250th anniversary, the Disability Employment Technical Assistance Center (DETAC) will explore how transportation continues this legacy by helping people with disabilities access competitive integrated employment and fully participate in community life.
Join this webinar to explore practical strategies for strengthening transportation supports in workforce development. Participants will learn how to identify and coordinate transportation resources, leverage mobility management and travel training, and build partnerships — including with employers — to integrate transportation into employment services and address barriers to job attainment and retention.
Learning objectives
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe current national trends and challenges related to accessible transportation
- Identify strategies and solutions to address transportation barriers
- Apply resources and tools to support accessible transportation options
