Advocacy for the Disabled
Dean Transportation has made a significant impact on the Specialized Transportation industry through Stephen’s and Dean’s advocacy for the disabled. Legal action, with the help of Attorney Lynwood Beekman, was taken against the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the U.S. Department of Transportation for their ongoing failure to develop Federal Guidelines to safely transport Special Needs individuals. After a five-year battle in Washington D.C., Dean Transportation's efforts helped force NHTSA to develop new equipment specifications for wheelchairs and wheelchair tie-down equipment, which is now available for the safety of our nation’s disabled passengers.
