S. Department of Transportation's aviation consumer disability toll-free hotline became operational on August 5, 2002. The toll-free numbers for the aviation consumer disability hotline are 1-866-266-1368 (voice) and 1-866-754-4368 (TTY). DOT is asking disability organizations and agencies to help spread the word about the establishment of the hotline. People with disabilities are encouraged to call the hotline for information and assistance if they should experience disability-related air service problems. Disability groups helped to test out the hotline before it became operational and DOT will use caller feedback in the coming few weeks to fine tune the system for effective response to disability issues in air travel. A press release announcing the hotline to the general public should be issued in a month or two following this consumer feedback stage.
