28th ADA Anniversary!


Today, we’re honoring the 28th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Before July 26, 1990, transportation, public spaces and even workplaces weren’t required to be accessible. Anyone with a disability could be denied a job – and the basic civil rights and opportunities that most take for granted.  CTN is proud to play a part in making the world a little more accessible for so many in this community.
