THANKS MAYOR DANIELLA LEVINE CAVA

FOR ENSURING WHEELCHAIR ACCESS IS PART OF DIVERSITY/EQUITY/INCLUSION

My companion of more than a third of a century – Heidi Johnson-Wright – has been an expert ADA coordinator for two decades.

She is a lifelong public servant.

She has used a wheelchair for mobility her entire adult life.

Mayor Daniella Levine Cava truly supports people with disabilities and their many needs as constituents of Miami-Dade County.

The latest accolade is Miami International Airport being named the overall winner of the 2021 Airport Accessibility Award during the 6th Annual Airport PRM (Passengers with Reduced Mobility) Leadership Conference, after earning 50 percent of the votes from the virtual conference’s 159 attendees from 42 countries.

“Congratulations to MIA for being recognized as a global leader in passenger accessibility by its industry peers. Miami-Dade County is committed to ensuring all our residents and visitors can access our airport facilities, including people with diverse abilities and disabilities. I'm extremely proud to see MIA leading the way in expanding accessibility and inclusion worldwide.” Levine Cava said.

“We have made a concerted effort at MIA to engage with the local disability community, understand their needs and provide a smoother travel experience for them. We are honored to receive the 2021 Airport Accessibility Award because of those efforts, and to be recognized by other industry leaders from around the world,” added Ralph Cutié, MIA Director and CEO.
