Metro is run by local govt and has to comply with ADA, plus big brother oversees our spending so DC is careful about compliance to avoid lasing funds. DOT is Federal Govt. Fed Govt is exempt from many regulations that companies and local jusrisdctions are not, because teh fed govt is "supposed" to be the gold standard and exceed requriements. Riiiiight.

I will give the fed govt props for hiring many PWD. When I worked on-site at a large agency there were many, many PWD, and in decent jobs. I can't say I see the same thing at the company I work for. sad.
