Disabled rights group files federal suit over SEPTA access
A federal lawsuit filed by Disabled in Action of Pennsylvania accuses the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board of failing to enforce the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968. The suit targets SEPTA station accessibility including Columbia Avenue Station on the Broad Street Line and other Market-Frankford Line stops. DIA argues the board is largely inactive with hundreds of pending cases and seeks enforcement action and follow-up on compliance.
