I'm looking forward to be able to continuing work with the Port to make the travel experience for people with disabilities the best experience it can be!
I'm really excited about being part of the Access PDX Project, not only with the Goodmaps app, but with all the rest of what the Port is doing to make travel easier for people with all disabilities!

We want to make @FlyPDX accessible & welcoming to everyone who passes through it. Since 2018, we’ve worked with local partners on our PDX Access Committee to better understand our customers’ different needs & identify ways to meet them — from @GoodMaps_A11Y to @sunflwrlanyards.
I’ve been working to improve the LIVEATC.NET feeds for the Portland Airport, and I’m excited to report they are so very much better now! liveatc.net/search/?icao=kpd…
