Message from the Webmaster

This events Calendar is a public resource for upcoming Capital District meetings, conferences, hearings, forums and special events sponsored by other non profit agencies that work with people with disabilities and seniors.  Preference will be shown to those agencies/events promoting transportation for people with disabilities as we have limited space.  We are willing though to list other events for people with disabilities. CDCAT reserves the right to determine final submissions to this calendar. See bottom of page for submission instructions.

Note: It's been difficult keeping this up to date with all the other things we are working on. We are looking for a volunteer to help with this. Please let us know if you're interested by emailing advocate@mobilityfreedom.org. Thanks!
