Some of us have spent time in a hotel<br \/>\nor motel as we embarked on new adventures on the road in the spirit of<br \/>\nfun. On the other hand, we read news reports of people who had to<br \/>\nescape the oppressive heat wave, or cope with power outages by staying<br \/>\nat whatever room they could find with power and air conditioning. I<br \/>\nhope that if you have stayed in a hotel or motel recently, it was a<br \/>\npleasant experience for you.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know it has been 22 years this month since the Americans with<br \/>\nDisabilities Act (ADA) was passed? During that time, many hotels and<br \/>\nmotels have become more accessible than before, but we continue to hear<br \/>\nstories about hotels and motels that are still not providing accessible<br \/>\ntelecommunications and media amenities. TDI wants to discuss this issue<br \/>\nwith the hospitality industry, and if necessary the US Department of<br \/>\nJustice (DOJ). But we need specific information from you regarding your<br \/>\nexperiences with telephone and television accessibility in the hotels<br \/>\nand motels in which you have stayed in order to document our concerns.<br \/>\nPlease take a few moments to fill out the survey and share your<br \/>\nexperiences. It should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. Thank<br \/>\nyou for helping TDI shape an accessible world as you travel.<\/p>\n<p>Click Here to Take the TDI Hotel \/ Motel Accessibility Survey If<br \/>\nsomeone else forwarded you this survey, or if you are having difficulty<br \/>\nwith the above link, please use this alternate link<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/survey.constantcontact.com\/survey\/a07e5idjz30gxi609vc\/start\">http:\/\/survey.constantcontact.com\/survey\/a07e5idjz30gxi609vc\/start<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also, use the alternate link if you have already taken the survey, but<br \/>\nwish to add a new experience.
